This week we look at the Best Picture nominations of 2012 and noticed something different! This year the Academy went with a ten movie list. Not to be daunted, we dove right in:
- Argo
- Amour
- Beasts of the Southern Wastes
- Django Unchained
- Les Miserables
- Life of Pi
- Lincoln
- Silver Linings Playbook
- Zero Dark Thirty
As if that wasn't enough, we added a few other categories to the Oscar list like Comedy Gold, The Independent Darling, and Who Did It Best!
Did Argo deserve the win? Did Les Miserables and Life of Pi deserve the nominations, or did they take up space that The Hobbit and Iron Sky could have had? Why did John Carter of Mars fail so spectacularly even with all the money and effort put into it? We have some ideas. This was a banner year for franchises! Sequels abound, and movies like American Pie and Underworld were on their fourth installments!
Want to be part of the excitement, listen and find out who we think could have been added to the Best Picture list! Was the Academy right? Do you agree with our correct assessments? Listen and find out! Don't forget to follow us on any of the major social media at theretrospodcast.
