Oscar Nominations 2013: Who And What Got Snubbed?

What better way to start off the new year in film than to judge and dissect the Academy Award nominations that were recently announced. We already have a list of the nominees and who the favorites are, but what about the controversy concerning the actors and titles that were left out? Every year there’s a handful left behind, causing movie fans to raise their pitchforks in protest (once again) over the Academy’s direction of being too old-fashioned.

Heartwarming and touching, yet shockingly comical; The Sessions was a critical curveball this year for its blend of defined characters and the sexual content involved. On paper it seems weird and potentially awkward, but the movie works as a human drama that’s mature enough to joke with its delicate subject matter. Thanks to a sensational cast who fully embrace their roles (especially John Hawkes and Helen Hunt), this picture is easily one of 2012’s best films. I’m guessing not many people caught this one in theatres either, and it’s a shame. It’s a really wonderful film that I wish received more recognition than it did.

So there you have it, our picks for the biggest Oscar snubs. Feel free to head down to the comments below and let us know who or what you think got snubbed.
