Academy Award nomination successes and snubs.
The 85th Academy Awards … these Oscar noms are full of the biggest surprises and snubs in a while, although there are still going to be some complete shoe-ins. Let's get to it!

I thought Lincoln was fantastic. I wouldn’t be surprised to see an Oscar go to them. I can’t wait to see the Academy Awards! I’ll be working late at DISH on the night that the Awards show comes on, so that stinks. I know that during primetime, my DISH Hopper DVR will automatically record all four major networks using the PrimeTime Anytime feature. I have other shows that are on different … more ›
