but not over Garfield.
I just don't get it. I really feel like he carried that entire movie, to the point where I'd've given him lead actor over Eisenberg. Jesse doesn't DO anything in the movie, he just sits there and looks sulky.

I know it's already been mentioned, but just looking at the original song category again and I'm just mystified. Was original music really that painfully bad this year? Country Strong got anything nominated? What the hell.

I disagree completely, I thought that Eisenberg's performance, undramatic and introverted as it was, had way more complexity to it than just looking sulky and was at the very centre of the film. The whole thing wouldn't have worked anywhere as well without him. Andrew Garfield was very good and yes, very likable and sympathetic (though I also thought that his character in some ways helped dig his own grave), but no way did he carry the film and frankly I didn't think he was better than the rest of the major supporting players.
I'm glad that The Kids Are Alright are getting noms, but not sure why Annette Bening was singled out by everyone instead of Julianne Moore.
It's just that he plays that same roll in almost every other movie he's in to a degree.
I've only seen him in Zombieland before, and while his character there was nerdy and awkward he was also nothing like Mark Zuckerberg.
that is a big leap to hate, you are making.
I have said more than once, that I liked the film. I just don't think it is the best movie of the year. I do expect it to win best picture.
I was going to say that by all accounts, Eisenberg portrayed Zuckerberg's personality, particularly in the early days of Facebook, quite accurately.
Or maybe it's just totally possible to like a movie without thinking it worthy of Academy Award nominations?
TSN is the clear front runner, it has won more 'best' awards than any other film this year. Again, I expect it to win Best Picture and most likely Best Director.
I do not think that it should have not gotten any nominations, I just meant to imply that getting one less nomination, is not such an outrage.
The 10 Best Picture noms are better this year than last year.
District 9 and The Blindside seemed like filler.
If anyone cares, I think TSN is a better movie than Swan, !27 Hours, Winters Bone, and Toy Story 3, that belongs in animation category.

So, like, deep, do you take issue with the Grammys placing "best rock album" nominees up for AOTY? After all, they have their own special category.
Or is an animated film a "painting" rather than a "picture," since there's paint involved?
A Best Movie winner without any Best Acting performances or Best Director nominations?
Also, what I've realized over the years is that the film editors in the Academy (if not the ACE itself) are by large a bunch of philistines. The old saying goes that you can't win BP without at least an Editing nom, and it's because that nominating body consistently aims right down the middle of the road. No surprise they usually match up so well. Unlike the cinematographers, art directors, screenwriters, costume designers, sound technicians, etc., these people rarely show ANY imagination or outside-the-box thinking. Nominating an action movie every year doesn't cut it. It's almost as if they see the films that are the big contenders and think "Hmm, these movies must all be loved because they were so well EDITED!", as if the other elements can't factor more heavily.
For every Walter Murch or Thelma Schoonmaker there are like 1,000 people who are just paying the bills and are trying to match continuity.

Precisely. It doesn't help that the "craft" of editing is the most stringently formulaic and "ruled" part of the studio filmmaking process, so as you put it, the vast majority of editors in the academy are surely mere by-the-book technicians, so of course the best picture front runners are going to be the editor's picks.
