Agreed. And I think the same can be said for Directing, which is why I never get overly concerned when Picture and Director go to different films.

Surprisingly, not unprecedented. Both Frank Borzage (Seventh Heaven (1927/28), Bad Girl (1931/32)) and George Stevens (A Place in the Sun (1951), Giant (1956)) did that trick as well, and of John Ford's four films he won Best Director for, only one (How Green Was My Valley (1941)) won Best...

15/24. Not too shabby for a tough year to predict. Called Lee as Director, so I'm happy about that.

Picture: Argo Director: Lee, Life of Pi (upset special!)

I'd say it's more due to people in general not liking it as much as Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and Inception. A film that is pigeon-holed as a "genre" film has to be exceptional to get consideration, and many people found TDKR as below the exceptional mark.

Oh, I loved Life of Pi as well. It just hasn't had the media "buzz" like the other favorites, which is why it's a "quiet" 11 noms to me. I'd love for it to sweep the Oscars, but I just don't see it happening, especially without any acting nominations.

Life of Pi is perhaps the quietest 10+ nominated film ever. I'm glad it got such recognition, but I really think it only has a decent shot at winning Score. This is a race between Lincoln and Silver Linings Playbook, folks. Lincoln has the edge if only because it appeals to both the actors and...
