Well they should be rewarded for not cutting a million times like most movies...

Academy Award Nominee Star Trek Into Darkness makes me want to punch things.

Other than that, pretty solid lineup. I'm glad to see Her got some nominations, though it is pure bullshit how Juaquin keeps getting snubbed when he's doing transcendent work. First they snub him for The Master, now for Her.

Also wish Oblivion had picked up a Cinematography nod, but what can you do.

Still, much more reasonable list than last year, I feel pretty OK with most of these choices.

I wasn't at all surprised Blackfish didn't get a nom, but Stories We Tell not getting nominated is shocking.  I have this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that 20 Feet From Stardom will get the upset, but Acto fo Killing is still as much of a lock as anything else.

BTW, Sarah Polley on twitter just heaped huge amounts of love on Joshua Oppenheimer and AoK, and vice versa.  Pure class, that lady.

Haha, I probably called it. I said IRON MAN 3 was the one we dismissed as "meh," which meant it'll not only get nominated but probably win.

I, too, am still pulling for GRAVITY. Also, the GRAVITY score is the first score in years I actually had to run out and buy immediately, so yeah.

STAR TREK's nomination makes perfect sense given the handicap that the VFX branch has a huge ILM contingent. Though it's surprising then that PACIFIC RIM didn't get it -- they probably split the vote.

Yeah The Interrupters not getting nominated was some bullshit.
