No nomination for Melancholia is a surprise, but then again Lars Von Trier maybe is too controversial for the oscars<br />Cinema Paradiso is very good, if you haven't seen it, just skip the extended directors cut, which I found a bit overlong.365 moviesandsongs365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-3821796102288619532012-02-25T09:58:49.624-08:002012-02-25T09:58:49.624-08:00Great post!

As I look back at their past nominees in this category, it's interesting to me that while they've only gotten the winner 42%, they often pick films that get nominations in other categories, like I Am Love for Costumes, Biutiful for actor, The White Ribbon for cinematography, The Diving Bell And The Butterfly, Pan's Labyrinth, Letters from Iwo Jima, etc.... I'm too new to know whether these were all guarantees even without HPFA's help, but there does seem to be something about being high enough on the radar to get noticed. Or maybe just being at the party enables these films to campaign--and over drinks!<br /><br />And more and more I'm thinking that A Separation has this in the bag.

Both seem to be going back and forth in regards to splitting the critics awards so far.CShttp://bigthoughtsfromasmallmind.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-5564057860763778612012-02-25T09:58:44.092-08:002012-02-25T09:58:44.092-08:00Christian Bale, eh?
