January 28, 2011The favorite to win Best Picture, The Social Network, only received the third most nominations of any film, behind True Grit's 10 nominations and The King's Speech's 12 nominations. Some have predicted that The Social Network is no longer a sure fire bet to take the top prize, and while that might be true, I still think it is the odds on favorite so far. The most egregious Oscar snub, in my opinion, is Christopher Nolan's lack of a directing nomination for Inception. Many thought he was snubbed a few years ago as well when his name wasn't called among the nominees for The Dark Knight. Inception is an impeccably well crafted film.By the way, I predicted all 10 Best Picture nominees correct, evidence! once again of my awesomeness! On the other hand, for some reason, Javier Bardem for Best Actor for Biutiful was not on my radar screen at all. Oh well.What do you think were some of the surprises/snubs among the nominees?Make sure you check out the Oscars on February 27, 2011.Best Picture127 HoursBlack SwanThe FighterInceptionThe Kids Are All RightThe King's SpeechThe Social NetworkToy Story 3True GritWinter's BoneBest ActorJavier Bardem- BiutifulJeff Bridges- True GritJesse Eisenberg- The Social NetworkColin Firth- The King's SpeechJames Franco- 127 HoursBest ActressAnnette Bening- The Kids Are All RightNicole Kidman- Rabbit HoleJennifer Lawrence- Winter's BoneNatalie Portman- Black SwanMichelle Williams- Blue ValentineBest Supporting ActorChristian Bale- The FighterJohn Hawkes- Winter's BoneJeremy Renner- The TownMark Ruffalo- The Kids Are All RightGeoffrey Rush- The King's SpeechBest Supporting ActressAmy Adams- The FighterHelena Bonham Carter- The King's SpeechMelissa !
