AND HERE IS MY 2 CENTS AS OF NOON TODAY:
Comment: A quick rundown shows 25 Telluride-centric nominations but I haven’t looked at the “short” categories yet (except to note the nomination of La Luna”)
The FAC metric goes 71 of 104 (about 68%)…so there ARE some surprises…some gratifying, some mystifying… by category:
BEST PICTURE: What was more surprising? That there were 9 films nominated, that Extremely Loud was one of them, that War Horse managed to stay on the list, that Dragon Tattoo didn’t make it? That Tree of Life DID? The FAC was 7 of 9 here. I feel pretty smart about Tree of Life making the cut.
BEST DIRECTOR: The FAC metric goes 4 of 5 here. I correctly assert Malick for Spielberg.
BEST ACTRESS: FAC goes 4 of 5. Mara in and Tilda Swinton out…not really a huge surprise.
BEST ACTOR: FAC 3 of 5…NO FASSBENDER!!! There IS NO JUSTICE!!! Fassbender’s demise as well as DiCaprio’s decline allow Oldman and Bichir in the game.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: FAC goes 4 of 5. Misses on Woodley. But glad to see the McTeer nomination.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: FAC is 4 of 5. The stunner was the exclusion of Albert Brooks who had been widely regarded as the only other lock in the category in addition to Plummer. Nope. Happy for Max Von Sydow.
BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY: FAC goes 3 of 5. Missed Tinker Tailor (had it as a possible)…and Ides of March. Not all that surprised that War Horse wasn’t here. I am kind of surprised that The Help was left off.
BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: FAC 3 of 5. Misses Margin Call and A Separation..BUT SO PLEASED THAT FARHADI GETS A NOMINATION! Occupy!!!
BEST FOREIGN: FAC goes 4 of 5. Missed on Bullhead instead of PIna. Again, very pleased for A Separation
BEST ANIMATED FEATURE: FAC goes 3 of 5. Missed BIG TIME on Chico and Rita and A Cat in Paris…what???
BEST ART DIRECTION: FAC goes 4 of 5. Missed Midnight in Paris.
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY: FAC goes 5 of 5. THE ONLY CATEGORY THE FAC WENT 100%...Makes me think I waste too much time trying to figure this out.
BEST COSTUMES: FAC goes 3 of 5 but both Anonymous and W.E.
BEST DOCUMENTARY: FAC is awful 2 of 5. Got Paradise Lost and Pina.
BEST FILM EDITING: FAC goes 4 of 5. Missed The Descendants…and here’s a note…This nomination probably keeps The Descendants in the Best Pic conversation. As we have said a number of occasions, an editing nomination almost seems to be a prerequisite to winning Best Pic. Kudos to the Fox Searchlight folks.
BEST MAKEUP: FAC is 2 of 3…missed Potter (which I listed as a possible).
BEST ORIGINAL SCORE: FAC was 3 of 5. Had Tintin as a possible.
BEST SONG: Only two nominations here…and I missed them both. Although, I did have Man or Muppet listed as a possible.
SOUND EDITING: 3 of 5
SOUND MIXING: 2 of 5
VISUAL EFFECTS: 4 of 5
In the “random facts to assuage my feelings about how many I missed” dept. I had 16 actual nominees listed as “possibilities”.
JUBILATION: For “A Separation’s” screenplay nod and gratified that Tree of Life and Malick were nominated.
TRAVESTY: No nomination for Michael Fassbender.
#OCCUPY success: McTeer, Farhadi (Separation).
More later, talk amongst yourselves…
