Oscar Nominations

My initial reaction to the Oscar nominations:

• Acting nominations for The Master but not for Best Picture?  Interesting.
• Love for Argo but not for Ben Affleck.
• Jackie Weaver getting a Supporting Actress nomination for Silver Linings Playbook is a pleasant surprise.
• Seth MacFarlane getting a nomination for Best Song for Ted!
• Not getting a Best Song nomination: Magic Mike, Safety Not Guaranteed, or The Odd Life of Timothy Green. :(
• No love for John Hawkes for The Sessions?!
• No nomination for The Intouchables?!  That is so wrong!
• I don't see the appeal of Flight, Beasts of the Southern Wild or Les Misérables so their nominations are lost on me.
• Happy for Silver Linings Playbook, Argo, Life of Pi and Zero Dark Thirty on their nominations.
• Happy that Searching for Sugar Man was nominated for Best Documentary.
