So there you have it the complete list of 2013 Academy Award nominees but what’s missing and basically who got the boot..
The Dark Knight Rises – Didn’t even get a nomination, not even a technical nomination (really not impressed)
Christopher Nolan – Nolan continues to get left off the best Director’s list and honestly.. shame on you academy
Ben Affleck – ARGO recieved Seven nominations including Best Picture but seriously Ben should of and deserved at least a Best Director nomination.
Cloud Atlas – Haven’t even seen the movie yet but by what the trailer looks like, where’s the techincal nomination?
The Avengers – The film’s made 1.5billion dollars and it only receives a nomination for visual effects?
Leonardo DiCarprio – He got a supporting actor nomination for Django Unchained via the Golden Globes, isn’t he good enough for the Academy?
Looper – Rian Johnsons original screenplay wasn’t nominated..
Let us know who you think will win best picture and also if you were disappointed with the nominees below
