It's an Awards Rant!

3 major snubs!!! As well as the usual boring nominations and some grossly overrated.

 No nomination for the documentary that was so popular and well praised it got extended screenings by month. It is the documentary that practically opened the gate for more docs in cinemas. The Imposter, one of the best films of 2012, no nomination.

No nominations, at all, for the amazing Rust and Bone. None for acting as the USA doesn't usually nominate foriegn actors, but I at least expected a Best Foriegn Film nomination.

And no best film nomination for The Master. This is also ridiculous because all the actors have been nominated and they make the film, so why no logical nomination for frak sake.

As usual I am annoyed about the nominations. All I hope is that justice is served and Joaquin Phoenix finally wins, he frakin deserves it and of course Wes Anderson for Best Original Screenplay for Moonrise Kingdom. That should go without saying.

Here is the list below. I have highlighted the ones I think should win for some of them. I have also highlighted in pink the ones that are ridiculous.
