Oscar Nominations 2013

The marquee awards event, the Academy Awards, has finally announced its nominees for 2013. It's always difficult viewing the list from this side of the pond as at this time Django Unchained, Flight, Zero Dark Thirty and Lincoln are all still yet to be released in the UK making it hard to judge the selection fairly. One of the main thing that stands out is that Argo has certainly lost out and the incredibly over-rated Beasts of the Southern Wild is inexplicably included in multiple categories:
