Should have gotten an Oscar nomination


Another mistake from the Academy...

reply

I think this is one of their biggest "mistake" years. They left out so many amazing films (including this one) + actors & actresses.

Does Meryl Streep really need another Oscar nom? No, but they gave her one anyway for some damn reason.

Agreed. I'll watch the Academy Awards next week, but only with mild curiosity. I could care less about the big films appearing in most of the categories. There aren't enough gems to root for this year, like "The Interrupters."

There's no buzz at the office about the Oscars, either, like there has been in previous years (e.g., "Have you seen Black Swan? It's crazy!"). Even the theaters have stopped showing most of the nominated movies. What a disappointment. Thank goodness for Netflix.

It's a shame because an Oscar nomination was fully deserved and, since the film did pretty marginal box office business, would have brought it some welcome attention.
