James Cameron is the obvious winner of the night with the top two prizes, but who was the biggest loser of the night? Here are Trespass’ nominations for:
Most deserving but missed out and now has a case for kicking and screaming – ‘It’s not fair!’ award
- (500) Days of Summer
- Carey Mulligan
- Joseph Gordon-Levitt
- Michael Stuhlberg
- Inglourious Basterds
DEVASTATED Carey Mulligan missed out. I love Sandra, and haven’t seen Blind Side, but Carey was so very brilliant in An Education. Thrilled Waltz got it for Inglourious, but on the whole, unimpressed with this year’s decisions.
I think from my choices for the ‘it’s not fair’ award it is pretty obvious who I think missed out.
Thankfully award season is far from over and there are still the BAFTAs and Oscars to come- where hopefully the nominations will be a bit more diverse and the winners somewhat more interesting. Especially now that the academy awards will have 10 nominees for Best Picture.
i couldn’t agree more in your choices for the ‘its not fair award’
