Oscars 2012

The festival of Hollywood is finally over.
As always there is heated debate over the jury's recommendations.
Lets glance through the movies and see the cases of dissidence.
First things first
The academy reverted to tried-and-true Billy Crystal to host the show who I think has lost his touch and his Blackface shtick was unfunny and outdated and several remarks(black lady in Beverly hills, Morgan Freeman reference) have reportedly touched the nerve of African-American communities.

The Best Picture: Truly "the artist" deserves the Oscar for the deft homage to the silent cinema.
    For movie about technique, its surprisingly effective in story telling.

The best actress: Even though Meryl streep did good, Viola davis still deserved oscar for such an      eloquent  performance. Also surprising Tilda swinton(we need to talk about kevin) didn't got a nominaton.
Best Director: Even though Hazanavicius won the Oscar, he did have serious competition from industry legends martin scorsese and Woody Allen(who had to be satiated with Best Original Screenplay).

Best supporting actor: surprising albert Brooks didn't get the nomination.
Christopher plummer thoroughly deserves the oscar.

Melancholia should've got more nominations.
