INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS SHAFTED AS USUAL SUSPECTS DOMINATE OSCAR NOMINATIONS


American Hustle and Gravity lead with ten nominations each. If any film's allowed to beat 12 Years a Slave, imo, it's Gravity. If any film will beat 12 Years a Slave, it's American Hustle. Oh well. All four of Hustle's leads are nominated (as expected), making this the second year running that a David O. Russell film has achieved this feat, and the second year running that it hasn't deserved to. Inside Llewyn Davis can only muster up two nominations, though that's better than Saving Mr. Banks at least, which manages just the one, as Emma Thompson is snubbed for Best Actress. Captain Phillips is one of several Best Picture nominees to pull in six nominations (the nine nominees - three years running that figure has been reached - represent the bulk of the nominations across the board, actually), which is maybe a disappointment for the film, since neither Paul Greengrass nor Tom Hanks is mentioned anywhere. The Wolf of Wall Street bizarrely misses out on a Film Editing nomination to Dallas Buyers Club, and 12 Years a Slave may be up for nine awards, but it still got left out of Cinematography and Original Score, which I can neither explain nor understand.
