Oscar Nominations: Who Got Snubbed!

The Academy Awards nominations were announced Tuesday morning in Beverly Hills.
As predicted, The Blind Side's Sandra Bullock scored a Best Actress nod, as did Best Actor nominee George Clooney for Up in the Air. (SEE A COMPLETE LIST OF OSCAR NOMINEES HERE)
But many stars were surprisingly shut out.
Look back on the hot couples (like Jen Aniston and John Mayer!) who hit the Oscars last year
Though his performance was critically lauded (and he scored a Screen Actors Guild Award nod), Brad Pitt didn't nab a Best Actor nomination for his role as Lt. Aldo Raine in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. Golden Globe nominee (and star of Nine) Daniel Day-Lewis also got shafted.
Red carpet flashback: see how the stars dazzled at the Oscars in 2009
John Krasinski's wife-to-be Emily Blunt was ignored in the Best Actress category for The Young Victoria, even though she earned a Golden Globe nomination. Also shut out: Oscar winners Marion Cotillard, star of Nine, and Julia Roberts, star of Duplicity - both of whom received Golden Globe nominations.
See how the stars partied at last year's Oscar bashes
Clint Eastwood was left out of the best directing category for the drama Invictus. Instead, honors went to James Cameron (Avatar); Katheryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker); Quentin Tarantino (Inglourious Basterds); Lee Daniels (Precious) and Jason Reitman (Up in the Air).
This year's Best Picture nominees - 10 films were nominated instead of the usual five - were predictable: Avatar: The Blind Side; District 9; An Education; The Hurt Locker; Inglourious Basterds; Precious; A Serious Man; Up: Up in the Air.

Some fans expected the comedy blockbuster The Hangover to earn a nod - it was up in the Best Comedy or Musical category in this year's Golden Globes - but it did not. Also ignored: Julie & Julia, Nine and Crazy Heart.
Tell Us What You Think
71My heart goes out to Sandra B., Jennifer A. and many other women who truly loved their spouses and were destroyed by their infidelity including myself after 34 years of marriage. My children, family and friends have also been betrayed by them. Many lives were changed due to their moments of thoughtlessness. They deserve what they end up with. They will cheat again!
I can't believe that the movie "The Road" wasn't nominated for anything- Viggo should have won or at least been nominated for best actor- his portrayal was real and really good- had me crying!
well brad didn't deserve an oscar for his role. he was in the movie for a total of about 30 minutes if not less, all he did was speak in a fake accent, there wasn't much acting on his part, he was only nominated for a grammy cuz it's his first role in years and people probably felt bad for him, i'm from the south and i thought he was trying too hard with the accent, it didn't sound real.
A GIRL DIED IN 1993, A MAN BURIED HER IN HER OWN home when she was still alive. The murderer chanted, "Toma sota balcu" as he buried her. Now that you have read the chant, you will meet this little girl. In the middle of the night she will stand at the side of your bed starring straight int your eyes. She will suffocate you like she was suffocated. This story is sadly true. If you post this 5 differnt times she will not bother you
WTF?
I get more and more disappointed every time I see "Avatar" get praise it does not deserve. Yes, the visuals were stunning and the movie deserves to win in those categories, but come on, the story was so-so and the acting was not memorable at all. If a movie is going to be nominated for Best Picture, it should have the entire package, not just one element that stands out. Plus, it'll just over-inflate James Cameron's ego even more than it already is. "The Hurt Locker" or "Up in the Air" deserve Best Picture.

I'm really disappointed that Nine wasn't nominated for best picture. It was a lot better than Up in the Air. I really dislike the Oscars because the academy always gives in to hollywood politics. I won't watch this year.
I agree with Molly, Abbie Cornish was brilliant in Bright Star and should definitely have been included in the list. In fact Bright Star should have been considered in a range of other categories, it's one of the most brilliant movies I've seen in a long time. Very disappointed!
I am mad as HELL! Jamie Foxx SO deserved another Best Actor Oscar for "The Soloist." He completely GOT what life is like for someone with schizophrenia. As a psychology student, I was awestruck by his perfomance. JAMIE WAS ROBBED!!!
Viggo Mortenson, and his film, "The Road". Appears that the voters just didn't see the movie. Brad Pitt was nominated last year. He denied Clint Eastwood, among others. Ironically, Eastwood was full of praise for Brad's companion Angelina Jolie, who denied three more deserving actresses their nods. Actually it was the makeup that earned the nomination for Pitt, last year.
I think 10 movies up for best picture is nuts.
I agree with Kim, Duplicity was def. not Oscar worthy. Everyone else got robbed! Brad ans Daniel Day Lewis were amazing, and Clint for sure should've been nominated for Invictus. And to the person who said Brad's accent was bad, well being from the south I think I'd be a pretty good judge of that and it was pretty on point so I don't really know where you're getting that from. Of course these days most peoples' accents aren't THAT strong but for the time period it was accurate.
WHO COULD FORGET HUNK BRAD PITT? BASTERDS!
