	If you're looking for all categories, try this quiz that came out at the same time as this quiz: http://www.sporcle.com/games/Sheldon/2012_oscars And if you're looking for some 2012 Oscar trivia, try: http://www.sporcle.com/games/rockgolf/crystal_light By the way, it looks like this quiz will push me over 10,000,000 plays on my published quizzes. If each quiz was played for an average of two minutes, that's the equivalent of 38 years! Man, that is one scary amount of time to be responsible for wasting!

	Having ELaIC over Drive is a goddamn travesty.

	Wow. What a weak year for animated pictures.

	joehemmings:	Feb 26th, 2012 at 06:41 GMT	2 points
	The only annoyance for me this year is the Drive snub. Also, would like to see Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy up for best picture. The Artist will probably sweep the major categories. If anything this could be a bigger sweep than The King's Speech last year. I'm confident it will take best actor, director,picture and original screenplay. With that will come editing, probably score, and a couple of others. I'm predicting the Artist takes 9 in total.

	The Artist will probably take 5 home, maybe 6. Doubt it will get Cinematography, Art Direction, or Costume Design (though the latter is most likely of those three). Also it will lose writing to Midnight in Paris.

	Pixar has set the bar too high with their past movies. Cars 2 wasn't thaaat bad that it shouldn't be with these other animated feature nominees...

	It's getting me excited for the Oscars tonight

	Interesting that of the original screenplays, one is silent and another needed to be translated for most of the voters to understand it, so subtitles played a big role this year.

	I saw both Rango and Kung Fu Panda 2 and neither deserves to be nominated for anything. :-P

	rockgolf:	Feb 27th, 2012 at 01:14 GMT	1 point
	I disagree about Rango. I went into it expecting a kids film and was thrilled with it. A wonderful pastiche of western, sci-fi & comedy. Yes, children can enjoy it at one level, but adults can recognize that the canyon run is almost a shot-for-shot tribute to the attack on the Death Star in Star Wars.

	Extremely and incredibly close and loud, not necessarily in that order.

	Vitarai:	Feb 27th, 2012 at 06:34 GMT	0 points
	I hadn't noticed before, but these are the 2011 Nominations. The year when referencing the Oscars should always be for the film year the awards are for, not the year in which they are given out.

	rockgolf:	Feb 27th, 2012 at 12:53 GMT	2 points
	It's always been confusing, but these are the 2012 nominations for 2011 films. Besides, 2011 is so last year.

	@rockgolf...regarding your comments on the nominees way back when...I didn't see it, but every review I saw, literally every one, was in agreement that Cars 2 was the worst film Pixar has ever made. @admin...Eric Roberts is a strange choice for the front page joke, considering that he actually is an Academy Award nominee. He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in 1985 for Runaway Train.
