Yawn, the BAFTA's always suck, and smell of phoniness. For example why are Lincoln and The Sessions nominated when neither have been released in the UK yet? And still they ignore Spielberg, just stupid. Far too many award shows doing exactly the same thing starts to grate a little.

I swear, some of these nominations are completely arbitrary. Django Unchained for editing? That movie has some of the most jarringly clunky editing I've ever seen.

Shame to see 'Berberian Sound Studio' and 'Sightseers' overlooked. Would have like to have seen an animated film nomination for 'The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists'

I just dont get why Alan Arkin is nominated? He was good in Argo, but did he stand out? Not necessarily – all the supporting actors were great. Also definitely not better than tons of other supporting actors in other films this year. I hate how a good performance will only be recognised because the actor himself is considered to be brilliant; or how the award season will single out a performance because its trendy (Carey Mulligan was mediocre at best in Drive and it was bizarre to see her nominated for that, and her performance in Shame was far more impressive anyway).
