Some surprises and a few obvious snubs got here out yesterday morning because the Academy of Motion Image Arts and Sciences introduced the Oscar nominations for the 2012 Academy Awards. While Rooney Mara was nominated for finest actress for her position in "The Woman with the Dragon Tattoo," the director of the movie, David Fincher, was left off the listing for finest director, and the film itself was left off the checklist for best picture. Tilda Swinton was presumably booted from contention for greatest actress by virtue of Mara’s inclusion.

Entering into, many thought that Michael Fassbender’s portrayal of a sex addict in Steve McQueen’s "Shame" would make him a surefire wager for a best actor nominations, but he was mysteriously left out. However, Demian Bichir was nominated for his position as a gardener living in Los Angeles in the movie "A Better Life." One other choice that was something of a surprise was the inclusion of Jonah Hill, higher recognized for his comedic work, getting a nod for his work in "Moneyball," with Brad Pitt.

One of the greatest mysteries going into the selection course of was the variety of movies that will be nominated for finest picture. A new rule dictates that every nominee for greatest image should receive at least 5% of the votes from the 5,783 voting members. Many thought that this would scale back the sector dramatically, though 9 movies had been nonetheless nominated with the brand new rules in place. Among the many surprises in this class have been "Extremely Loud & Incredibly shut" and "The Tree of Life." Left off the checklist have been the aforementioned "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "Bridesmaids."
