13th Annual No Guts, No Glory, 84th Oscar nomination Edition, Plus Oscar Wish
src=”http://www.awardsdaily.com/wp-content/uploads//2012/01/this-is-not-the-end.png” alt=”" width=”400″ />It was the year we thought War Horse and Tree of Life would dominate the Oscars. It was the year we never saw The Artist coming (until Cannes). It was the year The Help became one of the highest grossing films of the year — dragged controversy with it but has somehow overcame all of it. It was the year Bridesmaids and Dragon Tattoo surprised everyone by popping up in so many early guild awards. It was the year of the Meryl, and the actress she championed — “someone give her a movie” — Viola Davis. It was the year of the Clooney and several of the sexiest men alive. It was the year of the Gosling. Marilyn and Margaret Thatcher coming to tea? What ho, Brits hither and thither. And by most accounts, one of the least exciting Oscar races evah. But, as Iggy Pop would say, “it’ll all be over soon.” We should enjoy this moment, as hope springs eternal.
Please no more than three No Guts, No Glory and three Oscar wishes. Here are mine:
No Guts, No Glory
Ben Kingsley nominated for Supporting, making Hugo a major threat (could also be an Oscar wish)
War Horse surprises with Picture, Director, Screenplay, Editing, Cinematography nods
Demian Bichir is nominated for Best Actor
My Oscar wishes
I was told to never say your wishes out loud, so I will keep them dearly to my chest and hope that they come true.

@Greg Y. yeah I know Drive deserve and everybody (including movie or film critics) around the world knows Harry Poster’s last film deserves that top nomination, I mean why shouldn’t it it’s the hhighest grossing film of the year, made over a billion dollars (surprisingly), had possibly higher grades, more votes and reviews than any film this year, and has universal critical acclaim, also isn’t that hard to overlook/and doesn’t that kinda describe achievement in a film or sequels that’s part of the most popular and successful film franchise of all time. You know kinda like Star Wars, Avatar, and Lord of the Rings (I mean the battle scene between Voldemort/Potter reminded me of either LOTR or SW).
NGNG
No Hugo, Midnight In Paris or The Help nominated for Best Picture
Olsson for Actress
Gosling for Actor

Oh please let it be Shannon, please. Judging by the love he got from the critics’ he should be a lock for a nomination, but I fear that nobody (besides the critics) has seen the movie, and that makes it a big NGNG.
Other than that:

NGNG Predictions:
- Kirsten Dunst gets in for MELANCHOLIA

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo gets Picture, Director, Actress, Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography, Editing, Art Direction, Score, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing and Costume.

Many have already mentioned Redgrave and Serkis in the Supporting categories so I go with:

Weekend in Best Screenplay
Oscar Wishes:
Clooney lock out (he just plays George Clooney with different lines in all his movies)
Michael Fassbender’s penis nominated for Best Supporting Actor. It had a lot of screen time, in what was an impressive performance.
Meryl wins – please let her win! That actors like Hilary Swank has 2 Best Actress Oscars and Meryl doesn’t is a crime that needs to be righted. What does this woman have to do to win again?

NGNG
SUPER 8 gets original screenplay AND best picture
YAY!
Oh, and no Albert Brooks. That was second rate Tarantino stunt casting. Calm down, Drive obsessives.
damn, I forgot Michael Shannon. ah well
TRADITIONAL NGNG
1. BEST PICTURE : Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II
2. BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR : Ben Kingsley (Hugo)
3. BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS : Marion Cotillard (Midnight in Paris)
(+1 – I wouldn’t underestimate ‘it’ girl, Emma Stone, either.)
NOT-SO-TRADITIONAL NGNG (trying to find some logic/pattern?)
1. THE BRITISH VOTE
The British Vote secures key nominations for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (Picture) , Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Steve Kloves) and Shame (Fassbender, Mulligan). I still wouldn’t be surprised if Deathly Hallows landed a bp-nod, it needs 5% No1 – the precursors used different voting systems – so I think the stunning ensemble (some votes from the Actors’s Branch), the British-factor (some No1 votes from the British members) and the visual extravaganza (lot of No1 votes from technical branches) might just be enough to cover that crucial 5% No1.
2. THE POWER OF A BP-NOMINATION
A few strong best picture contenders will pull off completely unexpected acting nominations, so Emma Stone (lead), Marion Cotillard (supporting) and Ben Kingsley (supporting) will all land nods despite the complete lack of precursor-love. In case a film is more loved than we thought and surprises in the bp-category (see # 3), then acting contenders from those films could shock, too (Patton Oswalt, Judi Dench, Sandra Bullock, Max von Sydow). Oh, and if The Tree of Life sneaks into best picture, I wouldn’t be at all surprised, if Jessica Chastain AND Brad Pitt received their nominations for the Malick-film, too. Either double nomination for Pitt OR his lead nod would be for The Tree of Life.
3. THE POWER OF THE NEW RULE
At least one at-the-moment-underestimated film from an Academy-darling director WILL land key nominations including best picture. The best bet seems to be The Ides of March, but I wouldn’t rule out Young Adult, J. Edgar, The Tree of Life, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, either. Reitman is 3/2, Daldry is 3/3 and are we really that sure that there aren’t passionate fanbases in the Academy that could secure the 5% for Eastwood and/or Malick ? Sure, there probably wouldn’t be enough No2s and 3s etc. that would have been required last year, but are we REALLY that sure, that there won’t be 5% No1 ?
NO GUTS NO GLORY !!!
Best Actor/WOODY HARRELSON, RAMPART
Best Director/NICOLAS WINDING REFN, DRIVE
Best Picture/A SEPARATION
NGNG
John Hawkes for Supporting Actor (Martha Marcy May Marlene)
Steven Soderbergh for Director (Contagion)
Marion Cotillard for Supporting Actress (Midnight in Paris)
* A Separation is nominated for Best Picture

* Ken Lonergan is nominated for Best Original Screenplay for ‘Margaret’
“Michael Fassbender’s penis nominated for Best Supporting Actor.”
hahaha!

My three Oscar wishes:
Kirsten Dunst for Best Actress
Demian Bichir for Best Actor
Vanessa Redgrave for Best Supporting Actress
Picture: The Tree of Life
Director: Nicolas Winding Refn
Actor: Gary Oldman
Chico and Rita – Animated
Gainsborg – Makeup
Kingsley – Supporting Actor

NGNG
HP7: P2 in for Pic and Supporting Actor
Damien Bichir for Actor (PLEASE, PLEASE)
Melissa McCarthy Supporting Actress
Oscar Wish – Fassbender WINS.
Rooney Mara wins it in a Davis/Streep split.
My Three Oscar-Wishes or as I like to call them NOTGONNAHAPPEN :
1. Jane Eyre & A Dangerous Method in main categories inlcuding Lead Actress
2. Brad Pitt getting a nomination for The Tree of Life in either lead OR supporting
3. Cate Blanchett’s outstanding supporting turn in Hanna, getting recognized
1) Michael Shannon nominated for Take Shelter
2) Corey Stoll for supporting actor in the Midnight in Paris
3) 2 nominations for Jessica Chastain
No Guts No Glory
1. I’m going to repeat my admiration for Ben Foster in Rampart and…
2. Michael Shannon for Take Shelter.
Wishes:
1. Leo and Armie for J. Edgar.
2. Of course, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo for picture, director, script, and of course, ROOOOOONEY.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Alan Richman
“Oscar Wishes:

Truer words have never been spoken.
No Guts No Glory:

Best Actor: Michael Shannon (Take Shelter)

Best Cinematography: Eduardo Serra (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) and/or Anna Foerster (Anonymous)
Best Score: Cliff Martinez (Drive)
Best Editing: Mathew Newman (Drive) and/or Olivier Bugge Coutte (Beginners)
Oscar Wish: AMPAS nominates Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as Best Picture. It deserves a shot and has been criminally overlooked this awards season.
Kirsten Dunst – Melancholia
Tilda Swinton – We need to talk about Kevin
Olivia Colman – Tyrannosaur
Charlotte Gainsbourg – Melancholia
Elizabeth Olsen – Martha Marcy May Marlene
Adepero Oduye – Pariah
Michael Fassbender – Shame

Those are my biggest wishes to see tomorrow at the Oscar Nominations List! Let’s pray!
how is Bichir a NGNG? he got a SAG nom….
Sasha, I got so excited about your annual No Guts/No Glory column that I forgot to limit my list to three (I didn’t read the article, but dove right in to participate).
I apologize to you and your readers.
@phantom
I wouldn’t call Terrence Malick an Academy-darling. Only one film got any real attention, although it was big one – as I recall, zero Globe nominations and seven Oscar nods. If I understand the rules well, Tree of Life should be nominated because it has many ignorers, but also many lovers – more than most of the movies that you just like ’cause they’re just good. Which is why Reitman and Eastwood probably don’t stand a chance. Daldry really is a darling, but all his previous movies were, well, in contention. They had big presence on Globes and BAFTA. Extremely Loud seems to be totally ingored, I can’t see it nominated.
My NGNG? Well, it’s hard to think of any surprises possible this year…
- A Separation for screenplay
- Terrence Malick for director
- Gainsbourg for makeup? It that guts? Or maybe Tinker Tailor for screenplay.

Shame for Best Picture
NGNG: “The Artist” gets 15 noms, making it the most nominated movie ever; James Cromwell, John Goodman, & Penelope Ann Miller all get acting noms (along with the 2 more likely actors Dujardin & Bejo) for “The Artist”
WISH: Same as NGNG, no noms for “The Help,” Best Actress nomination for Robin Wright in “The Conspirator”
Side note: Some special award better be given for Uggie the Dog!
Bridesmaids for Best Picture
J Edgar is completely shut out

No Dragon Tattoo for Screenplay
Rooney for actress, Close out of the race.
Drive for Cinematography and Editing, no Albert Brooks.
Extremely Loud for Best Picture
Someone said that Drive’s director accomplished the feat no other director has achieve so far – making Gosling a star rather than an actor. Based on that My NGNG prediction is Drive for Best Actor, director, and/or Picture as some sort of reward. (this makes more sense in my head to be honest.)
NGNG:
Michael Shannon for Best Actor
Melancholia for Cinematography
Directing nomination for Nicholas Winding Refn
Tinker Tailor for Best Picture

Vanessa Redgrave for Supporting Actress (if Oscar voters saw this performance, they would vote for it in a heartbeat).
These all count as wishes as well.

I still maintain that this is not one of the least exciting Oscar races ever. It’s one of the most exciting in years, easily. Best Picture isn’t the only category – almost every other major category’s fate has yet to be sealed.
NGNG:
1 – Chastain out, Redgrave in (this could have been two NGNGs, but I don’t like playing it safe in NGNG)
2 – The Tree of Life for Picture, Director and Original Screenplay
3 – Andy Serkis for Supporting Actor
Wishes (outside of the obvious, like Michael Fassbender, Nick Nolte etc.):
1 – Olivia Colman for Actress
2 – Shame for anything
3 – Melancholia for anything
NGNG
Drive for Adapted Screenplay
Beginners for Original Screenplay
Midnight in Paris receives multiple tech nods (Art Direction, Costume Design)
Wishes
Drive for Picture/Refn for Director
Moneyball for Sound Mixing
Any nominations for The Muppets outside of Original Song (since that one’s a given)
For people to stop calling A Separation for Original Screenplay a NGNG pick–it’s either a first alternate or predicted nominee on just about any prognosticator’s predictions, and it’s probably gonna happen. Be bold, I say.
I don’t care if The Artist wins Best Picture (the majority of the general public, who will never attempt to see it, might feel differently but whatever). I just wish that it doesn’t wind up getting nominations (or ultimately wins) that it doesn’t deserve. Weinstein is controlling AMPAS like his own personal marionette; I just hope that his campaigning doesn’t get people to blindly vote for things like cinematography, screenplay, and even director which could easily go to more deserving candidates (Tree of Life, Midnight in Paris & Hugo, respectively). Picture and Score? That’s fine though an upset in even those would be fine by me.
NGNG
Leonardo DiCaprio is NOT nominated for J. Edgar.
Both Fassbender and Shannon are nominated.
NGNG:
Tilda snubbed.
Rooney Mara gets in.
Jonah Hill snubbed.
Wishes:
Tilda gets in.
Redgrave gets in.
War Horse gets no more than 3 norms.
NGNG:
1- Bridesmaids nominated for Best Pic and Best Actress
2- A Separation nominated for Best Director with an acting nod as well
3- Warrior nominated for Best Pic and Best Actor
NGNG:
1. Chastain snubbed
2. Bennett Miller nominated
3. Win/Win Original Screenplay nod
4. Rooney Mara nominated
NGNG (and I HONESTLY think all three will come true):
1. Armie Hammer (J. Edgar): Best Supporting Actor (I think he takes Nick Nolte OR Jonah Hill’s spot…Albert Brooks makes the cut…this is a hard category to predict with a lot of competition, but I think the Academy likes Hammer)
2. Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive): Best Director (he’ll take the ‘Speilberg/Fincher/Malick’ spot everyone’s assuming…the only reason Malick won’t get in is because he won’t show up to the ceremony)
3. Carey Mulligan (Shame): Best Supporting Actress (she’ll take the ‘McTeer/McCarthy’ spot everyone’s predicting…I think Woodley’s safe)
No Guts No Glory
Supporting Actor Robert Forster for The Decsendants
Lead Actress Berenice Bejo knocks out Glen Close
Tate Taylor for Best Director
NGNG:
Nicolas Winding Refn for Best Director
Melissa McCarthy is out, Carey Mulligan (Shame) is in

Anyone from the Tinker Tailor supporting cast for Best Supporting Actor
Drive for anything at all (but esp. Picture, Director, Cinematography, Editing)
NGNG:
Kirsten Dunst for Actress (also a Wish)
Ben Kingsley for Supporting Actor (also a Wish)
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close snags an Adapted Screenplay nod, maybe more
No Guts No Glory:
‘Wrinkles’ – Best Animated Feature nomination
Stephen Daldry – Best Director nomination
‘Tree of Life’ – complete shutout.
NO GUTS NO GLORY:
1- “Drive” nominated for Best Picture, Best Director (Nicolas Winding Refn) and Best Actor (Gosling).

– Niels Arestrup nominated for Supporting Actor in “War Horse,” and on the 26th becomes the first performer to win an Oscar for a Spielberg film
– Brad Pitt is a double nominee: Lead Actor for “Moneyball” and Supporting Actor for “The Tree of Life”
– “The Tree of Life” is nominated for Picture, Director, Supporting Actor, Original Screenplay, Cinematography, Editing, Art Direction, and Visual Effects, thus becoming a powerhouse nominee that gets everyone wondering if “The Artist” really is the film to beat
NGNG:
Best Supporting Actress–
Carey Mulligan is nominated for “Shame”
Melissa McCarthy is snubbed for “Bridesmaids”
Original Screenplay: “Pariah”
My ONLY and MOST FERVENT wish for tomorrow is for Michael Fassbender’s name to be read as a Best Actor nominee for “Shame” (I don’t think it’s a lock). If he doesn’t make it, anger will not begin to describe how I will feel.
My wish list would have the following nominees in their respective categories:
Best Actress
Viola Davis, The Help
Kirsten Dunst, Melancholia
Elizabeth Olsen, Martha Marcy May Marlene
Charlize Theron, Young Adult
Kristen Wiig, Bridesmaids
Best Supporting Actor:
Ryan Gosling, Crazy Stupid Love
John Hawkes, Martha, Marcy May Marlene
Patton Oswalt, Young Adult
Best Supporting Actress:
Marion Cotillard, Midnight in Paris
Melissa McCarthy, Bridesmaids
Ocatvia Spencer, The Help
Shaileen Woodley, The Descendants
NO GUTS NO GLORY:

2- “The Adventures of Tintin” nominated for Best Picture.
3- “Midnight in Paris” nominated for Best Supporting Actor(Corey Stoll), Supporting Actress(Marion Cotillard) and more (Costumes, Art Direction, Score…)
WISHES:
All above.
And “Coriolanus” nominated for Best Supporting Actress (Vanessa Redgrave) and Ralph Fiennes gets noms for Best Director AND Best Actor.
Oscar wishes:
Elizabeth Olsen and Charlize Theron gets Best Actress nods
Andy Serkis gets a Best Supporting Actor nod
Michael Shannon gets Best Actor nod, while Chastain gets nominated for Take Shelter, not the Help
Glenn Close snubbed
Shannon Best Actor (Take Shelter)
Kingsley Best Supporting Actor (Hugo)
Mulligan Best Supporting Actress (Shame)
Refn Best Director (Drive)
It would be great if Viola Davis got a supporting nom instead of a lead nom. That would settle things a bit but I don’t expect it to happen.
My predix covered in my link
NGNG:
1) Carey Mulligan for Supporting (Shame, not Drive)
2) Armie Hammer for Supporting
3) Most noms going to TGWTDT
Very happy to see I´m not the only one wishing Marions´s nom for “Midnight in Paris”.
She and Stoll really deserve this!

It was the year we thought War Horse and Tree of Life would dominate the Oscars. It was the year we never saw The Artist coming (until Cannes). It was the year The Help became one of the highest grossing films of the year — dragged controversy with it but has somehow overcame all of it. It was the year Bridesmaids and Dragon Tattoo surprised everyone by popping up in so many early guild awards. It was the year of the Meryl, and the actress she championed — “someone give her a movie” — Viola Davis. It was the year of the Clooney and several of the sexiest men alive. It was the year of the Gosling. Marilyn and Margaret Thatcher coming to tea? What ho, Brits hither and thither. And by most accounts, one of the least exciting Oscar races evah.
And it was the year of the Potter finale, with dominating reviews and box office.
Ebert has Tree of Life in his 7 Best Picture selections. I’ve always figured his uncanny accuracy is based less on intuition than a source who is in the know. So I’m hopeful.
NGNG:
Shame (Best Picture)
Fassbender (Best Actor)
Corey Stoll (Best Supporting)
Wishes:
Super 8 (Best Picture)
Hanna (Best Picture)
Winnie the Pooh (Best Animated Feature)

“For the first time, the Academy will get involved in the annual online buzz about its nominations, by sponsoring an hour-long live moderated chat starting Tuesday at 2 p. m. CST. It’s open to fans at the Academy website, http://www.oscar.com.”
Cool, so let’s all go give ‘em hell when they snub Potter!
Wish:
Steve McQueen for Best Director
Elizabeth Olsen for Best Actress
Carey Mulligan for Best Supporting Actress
NGNG:
Best Supporting Actor – Alan Rickman – Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2

Best Actor – Gary Oldman – Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

Rango for Best Original Screenplay
All highly unlikely, but it’d make my month!
Chastain for Take Shelter
Patton Oswalt for Supporting Actor
Elizabteh Olsen for Actress
Sasha, I think you’re dead right about Ben Kingsley for Hugo. I’m currently predicting him too; it seems like the perfect “coattail” nomination. He’s a popular, Oscar-winning, respected actor in a film that is destined to do very well with the Academy and due to the sheer instability of the supporting actor category, I think he can make it.
Other NGNG picks (and these I’m actually predicting):
1) Kirsten Dunst upsets Glenn Close for the fifth best actress slot.
2) Carey Mulligan, best supporting actress for Shame (knocks out Melissa McCarthy).
3) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo fails to receive picture, director, actress, and screenplay nods (I know this notion will be unpopular, but I don’t think this film will do as well as people are expecting).
NGNG
Bridesmaids for Best Picture
Andy Serkis for Best Supporting Actor
Ben Kingsley for Best Supporting Actor
Wish
Super 8 for Best Picture
Rise Of Planet Of The Apes for Best Picture

No guts no glory:

Wishes:
1 – Harry Potter for Best Picture and supporting actor (Alan Rickman)
2 – X-Men: First Class for Best Picture and soundtrack
3 – Rise of the Planet of the Apes for Best Picture and supporting actor (Andy Serkis)
Dear Readers of AwardsDaily,
Calling Bridesmaids a NGNG pick for Best Picture isn’t real. It’s clearly in the running and would have absolutely be in the category had they not changed the rules.
Sincerely,
Someone with a real NGNG pick for Best Picture: The Artist!
But really:
Best Picture: Take Shelter
Also the most Tech Nods for a non-BP nominee is going to go to Mission: Impossible 4.
NGNG
Best Actor – Michael Shannon, Take Shelter
Best Supporting Actress – Jessica Chastain, Take Shelter
Best Original Screenplay – Take Shelter
Oscar Wish
Best Actor – Tom Cullen, Weekend
Best Actor – Ryan Gosling, Drive
Lots of love for Drive, Bridesmaids, Take Shelter and any love for Weekend

Refn in Director
Chastain shows up for Supporting Actress…for The Tree of Life
Wish
Gary. Oldman.
Bennett Miller for Best Director. That’s all I care about and all I want, and I’m holding on to a shred of hope.
I would also say Kirsten Dunst for Melancholia, but that’s an even longer shot than Miller. I won’t even dare to let my heart wish it…
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy walks away with four nominations: Picture, Actor, Screenplay, & Score.
NGNG:
Leo DiCaprio for Best Actor
Andy Serkis for best Supporting Actor
Vanessa Redgrave for Best Supporting Actress
Wish:
Bette MIdler to present Best Song category
How about this lineup for Best Actor and Best Actress (for something COMPLETELY different)?
Tom Hardy – Warrior
Ryan Gosling – The Ides of March
Michael Shannon – Take Shelter
Michael Fassbender – A Dangerous Method
Peter Mullan – Tyranosaurous
Michelle Yeoh – The Lady
Keira Knightley – A Dangerous Method
Elizabeth Olsen – MMMM
Charlotte Gainsborough – Melancholia
Olivia Colman – Tyrannosaurus
. . . and the only one of those 10 artists who I think has a chance and my Oscar Wish for tomorrow: Michael Shannon in Take Shelter
His performance was riveting – total control of that character – and I can’t imagine another actor doing what he did in the role.
I’ve always felt that acting Oscars should go to something “special”. The right actor in the right role at the right time. For me this year, that was Michael Shannon in “Take Shelter”. It reminded me of the ferocity of Peter Finch in “Network”. For those of you who have not seen it, have I enticed you a little to check it out?
Keifer
for those that need a reminder:
“I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It’s a depression. Everybody’s out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel’s work, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there’s nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there’s no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV’s while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be. We know things are bad – worse than bad. They’re crazy. It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don’t go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, ‘Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won’t say anything. Just leave us alone.’ Well, I’m not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don’t want you to protest. I don’t want you to riot – I don’t want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn’t know what to tell you to write. I don’t know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you’ve got to get mad. You’ve got to say, ‘I’m a HUMAN BEING, Goddamnit! My life has VALUE!’ So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell, ‘I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!’ I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell – ‘I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!’ Things have got to change. But first, you’ve gotta get mad!… You’ve got to say, ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!’ Then we’ll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: “I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!”
Some of the most brilliant fucking dialog ever written, delivered to perfection.

NGNG:
BRIDESMAIDS gets nothing
MIDNIGHT IN PARIS love carries it into unexpected places — like Cinematography, Art Direction and Costume Design
THE ARTIST gets a ton, but because of the whole pre-existing music thing, gets left off the Score list — in favor of two nods for John Williams (Tintin and War Horse)
OSCAR WISH:

NGNG:
Kristen Wiig Best Actress
Weekend Best Screenplay
Warrior Best Picture
No guts, no glory:

1. ‘A Separation’ for Best Picture
2. Bennett Miller for Best Director
3. No ‘Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ in top 8 categories
4. Andy Serkis for ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’
My three “no guts, no glory” picks
1. Guilds mean nothing to Oscar, and War Horse becomes nomination leader with nods for Picture, Director, Screenplay, all techs and supporting nods for Emily Watson and Tom Hiddleston.
2. Ewan McGregor gets in for Beginners, knocking DiCaprio out of Best Actor
3. a full 10 nominees for Best Picture with a few films no one was expecting like My Week with Marilyn and The Muppets.

This years Oscar season needs Kingsley to be nominated in a big way. Scorcese to be nominated too. That may be the only way we actually have a race for Best Picture this year…..
Except maybe if The Descendants suprises at the SAG and gets nods for Woodley and Editing(plus the probable WGA win)
Those are the only ways I can imagine this Best Picture race staying interesting.
Imagine if all this somehow happens! That would be so exciting (even though I don’t like the Descendants I would still enjoy this just for tension sake)

Antonio Banderas (The Skin I Live In), Michael Parks (Red State) out of nowhere for Best Lead Actor
Harry Potter with 10 noms or more, including Pic, so some would have to stand “trollers” till Oscar night – I’m evil, you know.
The Artist, The Descendants and Moneyball missing key noms so race is more open than ever (and Hugo and Paris have its chance)
Anna Paquin getting nom’d for Margaret, a performance said to be awesome and that she’s waited for 5 years to see on screen.
