84th Annual Oscar Nominations

There were quite a few surprises when Oscar nominations were announced this morning. Martin Scorsese's Hugo led with 11 nominations, followed by The Artist with 10.


Nominations I'm most delighted about - The Tree of Life for Best Picture, Demian Bichir for A Better Life, Rooney Mara for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Gary Oldman, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, A Separation for Best Original Screenplay.

Biggest disappointments - Project Nim snubbed for Best Documentary, No Albert Brooks or Shailene Woodley, No Best Score Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
