The 2012 Academy Awards Nominations
Since we are huge fans of the Oscars me and Janne the Director decided to do a live tweet session during today’s presentation of the 2012 Academy Awards nominations.
Little did we know the broadcast was going to be shorter than a Sinead O’Connor marriage. Seriously, it was more fast-paced than an episode of Gilmore Girls. While trying to tweet we missed a bunch of categories. None of the important ones though. Janne the Director has explained to me what “Art Direction” is, but I still don’t get it.
Here are some of the tweets we posted:
The #Oscarnoms are already running late. This is how pregnancy rumors get started.—

Best directors? I thought that was the list of who died in 2011! #Oscarnoms—

It would suck if Max von Sydow lost to the fat guy from Superbad. #Oscars #2012—

Wow, not even starring in a bad movie can stop Meryl Streep from being nominated! #TheIronLady #Oscars #2012—

I think it is a sign of old age that the Academy gets @AlbertBrooks confused with Christopher Plummer.—

We also noticed a bunch of weird decisions.. No nomination for Tintin in the Animated category? That is just ignorant. And no Best Picture nomination for neither The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo nor Drive (that oversight almost made Janne the Director’s head explode..). And sadly no Best Actor nomination för Michael Fassbender in “Shame”. I say sadly because I so desperately wanted to tweet:
Michael Fassbender got a Best Actor nomination for Shame. See Mom, masturbation can lead to other things than blindness!
