George L. Little (Zero Dark Thirty)
Louise Stjernsward (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel)
Jany Temime (Skyfall)

As usual, one of the final guilds to announce, with the MPSE the last to pitch in tomorrow. All five of the Academy's choices appear here, with three in the Period category and two, the two Snow White entries, in the Fantasy category. Hard to tell which films will win, particularly in Fantasy, although I'd wager that Anna Karenina will win Period, most deservedly, and that Skyfall will win Contemporary. We'll find out on the 19th of February.

  1. Django Unchained is missing in Contemporary.
    Silver Linings Playbook is continuing its silver lining with Guilds.

    If there is one movie which can surprise us on february 24, its Silver Linings Playbook.
    It has had ridiculous amount of support even in categories that are easily passable.

    1 role in 1 movie can radically change one's fate.
    And Bradely Cooper gets oscar nominated before Michael Fassbender,Tom Hardy,Ewan McGregor,Sam Rockwell.

    1. I doubt Django would have been Contemporary. It would have been Period.

      I wouldn't say that Silver Linings Playbook winning the Oscar would be a surprise. Barely anything would be a surprise this year! And with all those nominations, it must be a frontrunner.

      Eugh. I hear you on that. So many great actors. Eli Wallach, Harriet Andersson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Donald Sutherland, John Goodman, Martin Sheen, Kevin Bacon... wtf

  2. Yep, sorry brother.
    Django was indeed snubbed in Period.
    Lost my mind over there.
    My bad.
    Thank U.

  3. Brother,MPSE nominees are out.
    Argo, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Life Of Pi and Skyfall were each nominated for four awards. The Dark Knight Rises, Django Unchained and Lincoln took 3 nominations apiece.

    Of course, Silver Linings Playbook has found itself a nomination in dialogue and ADR.
    Zero Dark Thirty doesnt find a place in any of the sound editing nominations. It had great sound effects & sound editing, especially in raid scenes.
    Its incredulous and outrageous that when films like Beasts of Southern Wild,Moonrise Kingdom,Silver Linings Playbook & Cabin In the Woods can find a nomination, why the hell cant Zero Dark Thirty.
    What's happening?
    Please enlighten me.

    1. Different categories. Dialogue and ADR editing is a part of any film's production. I can't remember exactly what I thought of Silver Linings Playbook's sound editing (if anything), but perhaps it merited a nomination in that category. But yeah, the Zero Dark Thirty snub seems peculiar to me. I'm not sure if a group as inconsequential as the MPSE would vote politically, so the argument of the political backlash against Zero Dark Thirty doesn't seem to explain that omission. Strange. At least it got the Oscar nomination.

  4. Brother, MPSE nominees are out.
    “Argo,” “Life Of Pi,” “Skyfall,” and “The Hobbit” earn the most nominations in features, with three each.

    Unsurprisingly Silver Linings Playbook gets a nod in Dialogue and ADR.
    This film is now changing the fate of even technical talent involved.

    Beasts of Southern Wild,Moonrise Kingdom,Cabin In the Woods also find themselves in nominees.

    And Zero Dark Thirty is nowhere to be seen in any of the categories.
    Its outrageously disappointing given the number of nominees run up to 8.
    Its absence digs deep with the addition of Wienstein's SEAL Team Six: “The Raid on Osama Bin Laden”in TV category.

    What's happening?

  5. I am pulling for Paco Delgado to win the Oscar, and it may happen, but ANNA KARENINA is a serious threat.

    1. I'd say things are in Anna Karenina's favour atm. And I'm pulling for Jacqueline Durran, so I shan't complain!
