For all our assertions of 2011 being a great year for British films...what a disappointment. And no 'Drive' or 'Shame' to be seen. Of the nominated movies my favourite is The Descendents. And whilst I'm sure George is looking likely (and deserved) - recognition for Gary Oldman is overdue. Though he might have to wait for the long service award option...this year going to the 100% shoe-in that is Christopher Plumber. As for Meryl - pah.
I agree...a very retrospective line-up with The Artist, Hugo and Midnight in Paris (enjoyable but certainly not a "Best Picture") all doing well. I missed Hugo completely last year.
ReplyDeleteA very bland line-up of nominations.
Mark - Meryl was awesome...get over it!
