![]() Photo: AMPAS This morning at 5:30 AM PST the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the 2012 Oscar nominations and there were certainly some surprises to behold. I mean… just look at that… Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close got a nomination. I dropped it from my list of nominees, but I remember a while back when everyone kept harping on me for continuing to keep it among the favorites. Ugh, wish I had stuck with my gut, it’s a great film and well worthy of a nomination. As for total number of nominations, here are your leaders, but there is so much more to talk about than this and I’m working as fast as I can.
