  yet give amazing performances quite outside of the "In Golden Pond" triteness.
  Jean-Louis Trintingant should get the Best Oscar, period.
  Emmanuelle Riva EASILY gets the Best Actress.
  Michael Haneke is shoulders above any other nominated director w/the exception of Tarantino: this is as great a film as his last, "The White Ribbon."
  Best Supporting Actor: Waltz. Unforgettable character. Jones' curmudgeon we've seen a thousand times before. He should have gotten the Oscar, perhaps, for "No Country for Old Men."

  He won't get the nod but I thought Denzel Washington gave what may have been his best acting performance (say except "Malcolm X") ever, in "Flight".

    ...and usually the best pic and director go hand in hand.
    
    Affleck was shunned, like Bigelow.

      Waltz just won. I loved Django Andrews Waltz's performance of Dr.King Schultz - maybe even more than his Colonel Landa in Inglourious Basterds (which was an amazing turn). I dunno if it's the best performance but I'm happy for the talented Herr Waltz, who seems like a genuine, modest fellow.
      
      I personally would have given it to Hoffman, but the momentum was with Waltz.

  I'm ok with that. If Argo wins anything I will be so turned off. A Hollywood film about Hollywood saving the day because the CIA is incompetent unless Hollywood gets involved...all it needs is more Hollywood awards. Can a film be more insular?
