  1. LINCOLN TOPS OSCAR NOMINEES

    <strong><span style=&quot;color: black;">Steven Spielberg&rsquo;s</span></strong><span style="color: black;"> epic <em>Lincoln</em> leads the list of nominees for the <em>85th Annual Academy Awards</em>, nabbing 12 nods, including Best Picture, Best Director (Spielberg), Best Actor (<strong>Daniel Day-Lewis</strong>), Best Supporting Actress (<strong>Sally Field</strong>) and Best Supporting Actor (<strong>Tommy Lee Jones</strong>). Coming in close behind is <em>Life of Pi</em>, with 11 nominations. Competing against both films for Best Picture are <em>Silver Linings Playbook, Argo, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Django Unchained. Amour </em>and<em> Les Mis&eacute;rables</em>. The biggest snubs of the day came in the Best Director category. Although they were considered locks, both <strong>Ben Affleck</strong> and <strong>Kathryn Bigelow</strong> failed to get recognized, despite both of their films, <em>Argo</em> and <em>Zero Dark Thirty</em>, nabbing Best Picture nominations. (<em>Les Mis&eacute;rables</em> director <strong>Tom Hooper</strong> was also snubbed in the category, although he wasn&rsquo;t considered as much of a shoe-in.) Other interesting Oscar tidbits: all five nominees in the Best Supporting Actor category (Jones, <strong>Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christoph Waltz, Alan Arkin </strong>and<strong> Robert DeNiro</strong>) are past Oscar winners. <em>Amour&rsquo;s</em> <strong>Emmanuelle Riva</strong>, who is 85, is the oldest Best Actress nominee ever, while <em>Beasts of the Southern Wild&rsquo;s</em> <strong>Quvenzhan&eacute; [Qua-VEN-zha-ne] Wallis</strong> is the youngest Best Actress Oscar nominee ever at 9 (she was six when she shot the film). <strong>Leonardo DiCaprio</strong>, who received a Golden Globe nod for <em>Django Unchained</em>, failed to get a nomination. &nbsp;This year&rsquo;s Oscar host, <strong>Seth MacFarlane</strong> received a nod for Best Original Song for his <em>Ted</em> tune &ldquo;Everybody Needs A Best Friend.&rdquo; And <strong>Christopher Nolan&rsquo;s</strong> <em>The Dark Knight Rises</em> didn&rsquo;t get any nominations, not even in technical categories.</span><a href="http://oscar.go.com/nominees"><span style="color: #1155cc;">Click here</span></a><span style="color: black;"> for a complete list of nominees. The <em>85th Annual Academy Awards</em> airs Sunday, February 24th on ABC. </span>

  4. Manipulative music, plot devices keep 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' from greatness ★★

    Already &quot;Beasts of the Southern Wild"is the most divisive film of 2012, which is a testament to its co-writer and director, Benh Zeitlin, making his feature film debut with a picture that killed at Sundance, won the Camera d'Or (best first film) at Cannes and has been critically anointed by some while declared shiny but overbearing by others.

  5. Viola Davis plots a career, not just for herself

    Viola Davis has won two Tony Awards for her Juilliard-trained stage work in the August Wilson plays &quot;King Hedley II" and "Fences." She has been Oscar-nominated twice, first for a supporting role in "Doubt," more recently for a much larger role, in "The Help." Playing the African-American domestic, Aibileen, in that hit brought her much acclaim and no little amount of grief, Davis told me the other day by phone. She's coming to Chicago Monday to pick up a career achievement award from the Chicago International Film Festival.

  12. 'Gimme the Loot' director says film 'hit the jackpot'

    With its loose, freewheeling style, the unassuming &quot;Gimme the Loot" has already led something of a charmed life. The film picked up the grand jury prize when it premiered at the South by Southwest film festival last year, going on to play the prestigious New Directors/New Films series in New York and be an official selection at the Cannes Film Festival. It was then nominated for two Spirit Awards, earning writer-director Adam Leon the "Someone to Watch" award.
