Oscar 2012 - Nominations

Asa cum am zis acu' vreo doua zile, revin scurt cu nominalizarile la cald pentru Oscarurile de anul asta. De data asta chiar ca n-o sa mai stau cu bla-bla vis-a-vis de motivele pentru care dedic in fiecare an luna Februarie pentru asa ceva (= o sa urmeze vreo cateva din categorii in detaliu next weeks, nu prea multe ca n-am timp). Am argumentat anii trecuti, deci daca cineva vrea vreo justificare search my blog. Ca idee as putea face acelasi lucru si pentru BAFTA dar intamplator Oscarul e plasat mai bine in calendar in ce ma priveste. Asta in ciuda faptului ca vad ca merg din rau in mai rau cu predictiile de la an la an ... :) da na. Altu' e "the point" (again, argumentat in anii trecuti).
