"J.Edgard" grande assente agli Oscar 2012 annunciati oggi

Grandi assenti dalle candidature come miglior attori protagonista, sia Leonardo DiCaprio per "J, Edgar" di Clint Eastwood, che scandalosamente non ottiene nessuna nominations, che Michael Fassbender per il film "Shame", anch'esso del tutto assente. Una mancanza inspiegabile, se non per motivi del tutto estranei all'arte del cinema.
Ci consoliamo con le candidature a Glenn Close per "Albert Nobbs", film che ottiene anche la candidatura come attrice non protagonista, Janet McTeer, e quella per il Trucco.
Glenn Close dovrà vedersela con Meryl Streep candidata per il film del regista gay Phyllida Lloyd, "The Iron Lady".
Tra i candidati per il miglior film, segnaliamo "The Help" del regista gay Tate Taylor, storia di razzismo ambientata nel profondo sud negli anni '60, ma con pochissime probabilità di vittoria. Sempre come miglior film troviamo "Midnight in Paris" di Woody Allen che raccoglie complessivamente 4 candidature. Il film che raccoglie il maggior numero di candidature, ben 11, è "Hugo" di Martin Scorsese.
Christopher Plummer ottiene la candidatura come attore non protagonista per il film "Beginners".
