I would love to see Danai Gurira nominated for Mother of George.

What you probably mean is "The 22 Oscar Nominations I'D Most Like To See Tomorrow (But Probably Won't)".

Also, you don't need the word "Most" in that sentence.

I hope Joaquin still gets a nom tomorrow and I think Amy Adam's performance in it is a way better than in Amercian Hustle.

Also, I am still shocked with the fact Llewyn Davis is not getting the recognition it deserves. Oscar Isaac is fenomenal in it.

Oh well…

It wouldn't be a surprise if Llewyn Davis was nominated for Best Picture.
A Serious Man was nominated, and it wasn't exactly a typical oscar bait. Neither were No Country For Old Men or True Grit and those were nominated too. The academy has started to love the Coens, and that's good. They are in a position where they can pretty much make any film they want.

I know I'm in the minority, especially with the staff on this site, but Her and Frances Ha are easily the two most overrated films of the year. neither is terrible but they're not worth celebrating in my opinion. I personally miss pre – wild things Jonze. I guess I'm more of a Kaufman fan.

I hope Amy Adams gets a nomination full stop because shes adorable and a masterful actress. I'd also love to see Oscar Isaac get recognized, I love that performance. Julie Delpy would be wonderful but isn't going to happen. Also ones that are not going to happen which is a travesty are Adele Exarchopoulos and Lea Seydoux who are so stunning in Blue that its almost unbelievable their lack of recognition (even at the Baftas!).

Anyway the film I'm most annoyed about not getting any love is MUD, which is such a terrific film and I just wonder if it had come out November/December would it be getting more love? McConaughey is great, the kids are great and in my perfect world Jeff Nichols would get an best director nomination along with McQueen, the Coens, Cuaron and Linklater. HER and WOLF aren't out in the UK yet…

You forgot Dennis Quaid for Best Actor in At Any Price.

By: Jamie

My biggest disappointment this year has been Prisoners fading in the race for gold. It is still being discussed at our house and has been watched three times and will probably be watched again. Most of the films nominated tomorrow will get a once over and then consigned to history. Yes the film was flawed, but it proved what a great ensemble and director can do with less than spectacular material simply by conveying twisted lives dealing with unspeakable horror.

I'm listening to the Prisoners score right now and it's one of my faves from last year.

Jennifer Lame (Frances Ha) should WIN best editing – that's the coolest cutting I've seen in a movie in so long.

Only God Forgives and Stoker for cinematography

By: Marlene Waller

Marlene Waller — Sun, 22 May 2016 03:07:16 +0000

I really enjoyed Prisoners and Her, although I didn't see all the movies. Hollywood is clearly deliberately ignoring the talent of Joaquim Phoenix. Don't understand the hype over Wall Street which was way over the top, a caricature except for the performance of the federal agent, as you stated. The choices as always are primarily politically driven.

BEST ORIGINAL SONG – Keith Stanfield's raw freestyle in SHORT TERM 12

I'm hoping:

Toni Sorvillo will get a Best Actor nomination for "The Great Beauty".

Kristin Scott Thomas will get a Best Supporting Actress nomination for "Only God Forgives".

Joel Edgarton will get a Best Supporting Actor nomination for "The Great Gatsby".

And where are the noms for the BEAUTIFULLY shot, edited, cast, written, directed acted, and soundtrack of "42" !!!!!!( Sure it's a terrible title) – but Harrison Ford deserves a best supporting nomination, Don Burgess should be a shoe in for best cinematography, and though it's been a stellar year for African American leading actors – Chadwick Boseman is incredible as Jackie Robinson! Brian Helgeland's script and direction are fabulous! ( and I HATE baseball)
I can't stand it when films that are released early in the year are COMPLETELY ignored come awards time!
42 – BEST PICTURE OF THE YEAR!!!!!

The title of Joaquin's documentary was 'I'm Still Here', not 'I'm Not There' which was of course the Dylan biopic.

Joaquin Phoenix? Her was a back step for him, there were moments when i thought i was watching his Jimmy Emmett character.

Prisoners had some great acting! And what about "Mud"??????? I loved that movie. And thought those young boys were awesome in it.

By: suzaman

suzaman — Sun, 22 May 2016 03:07:16 +0000

I called the Academy about Mud it wasnt just the best picture of the year but the past 15 years

By: FP

FP — Sun, 22 May 2016 03:07:16 +0000

Are we talking about the same MUD? Did this morph into a conversation about Misty Day and the swamp in AMERICAN HORROR STORY: COVEN? Because if you meant the MUD where Reese Witherspoon swans around in short shorts with nothing to do except look like a trailer trashy Helen of Troy as a grown man sends boys out to do his bidding, I think I recoil in horror at the idea that this is a better film than 12 YEARS A SLAVE, WINTER'S BONE, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, THERE WILL BE BLOOD, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND, MEMENTO, BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, THE INSIDER, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. The idea conveyed in MUD is, women make you do stupid sh!t. Pity that women think so highly of it.

Oliver, as always, you prove out why this is my favorite place on IndieWire. An excellent and thorough accounting of the films and performances that will stay with us long past March 3rd.

Isn't it the case that Scarlett Johannson is ineligible for an acting award because she does not appear on screen? Isn't that why Andy Serkis was never nominated for Lord of the Rings or Rise of the Planet of the Apes? Or, perhaps reaching a bit, James Earl Jones for Darth Vader?

I know I was really frustrated a few years ago when what I would argue was the best score of the 2000s decade–There Will Be Blood–was cut out because it sampled some music.

The Academy only recently added Best Animated Feature, they need to continue to move into the 21st Century by recognizing such performances.
