It wasn't eligible because it came out in Japan in 2010, they didn't snub it because it wasn't eligible.

I like Lincoln, but I really hope it doesn't take best picture, especially when compared to ZDT, Les Mis, Amour, and Life of Pi.
Honestly though, all of these movies were fantastic and it will be a tough choice this year, im personally pulling for Les Mis, and Ang Lee for directer for Life of Pi.
Daniel-Day Lewis definitely deserves the Best Actor award, his performance was fantastic.
Quentin Tarantino gets snubbed for Best director, dont know how i feel about it.

I'd like for Django Unchained or Les Miserables to win best film. Although I have a feeling that Lincoln is going to be taking most of the awards it is nominated for.
Based on the Best Picture Films nominated also for Best Director (only 3 best picture films have ever won without also being NOMINATED for Best Director and the last one was Driving Miss Daisy) we are looking at 5 films to really take the prize, and some are surprising (however the whole best director category is confusing)
Amour
Beasts of Southern Wild
Life of Pi
Lincoln
Silver Linings Playbook
of those 5, I would probably put it between Amour, Life of Pi, and Lincoln.
But who knows maybe we will get our 4th picture to win without a director nomination.
I don't know about best picture or best director...
But if Lewis doesn't win best actor, the Oscar committee is screwed in the head.
I'm surprised Argo, Dark Knight rises, and Skyfall aren't up for best picture... all of them were well received.
It's actually about universal faith, belief, and a reflection upon the nature of existence.

Sounds about right, honestly. I still haven't seen Amour so I can't comment on it, but I could easily see Life of Pi or Lincoln winning. I wouldn't mind if either of them won, because they were both really great films. I don't really think that Django Unchained stands a chance, as much as I enjoyed it and would like for it to win. I think that Les Miserables stands more of a chance than Django does, but I still don't see it winning, same with Beasts of the Southern Wild.
Argo actually was nominated, TDKR wasn't probably due to auroro tragedy controversy, the fact that the oscars pretty much never give a nod to comic book movies (they awarded Heath Ledger one for the Joker, but that was more because he kind of died), and that it wasn't better or even nearly equal to the The Dark Knight.
Skyfall probably would have been nominated had this not been such a competitive year for big ambitious movies striving for that place above being good solid entertainment. (Pretty much all of the movies nominated did this is in some way)
Jennifer Lawrence because she's hot, young, and a amazing actress. That is rare nowadays.
Wow <3 Korra<3 Giants<3
No nomination for Paul Thomas Anderson is pure blasphemy. The Master is on a whole other level compared to Silver Linings Playbook and Django Unchained.

Do you think Lincoln has a " cultural " advantage ?
