Weak year in movies

shmokes:
I just took a look at the list of Oscar nominations for 2012. Granted, of the best picture nominees I've only seen Moneyball and Midnight in Paris. But my general feeling is that it was slim pickings this year. Midnight in Paris was fantastic (especially if you've read much Ernest Hemingway). But Moneyball? It was good, but that's all. It's not like I'll ever have any desire to watch it a second time. I'm still going to watch most of the others, but I haven't been especially excited about any of them.

And how about Pixar? Not even nominated this year. I mean, they didn't deserve to be (Cars 2), but that's equally surprising. Feature length animations have their own category. So few feature length animations are made each year that, generally speaking, simply making a film automatically gets you a nod from the Academy in this category. For example, some past nominees: Happy Feet, Ice Age, Jimmy Neutron, Shark Tale.

SNAAKE:
this year will make up for it I guess :cheers:


cant wait for all the high budget summer blockbusters.

shmokes:
Summer blockbusters too. What did we have last year that was good besides Harry Potter? Planet of the Apes? Mediocre.
