Be sure to vote for your Oscar picks with our Academy Award Quick Vote!

This year's Academy Award nominees were announced Tuesday morning, meaning the weeks leading up to February 26 will be filled with rumors and speculation. Michel Hazanavicius' "The Artist" and Martin Scorsese's "Hugo" lead the list with 10 and 11 nominations respectively, but there were plenty of movies with multiple nominations. "Moneyball" and "The Descendants" did well, allowing Brad Pitt and George Clooney to vie for Best Actor.

We put together a Quick Vote poll for the major categories so you can find your way around the nominations and get involved in the discussion right away. If you'd like to see a full list of categories and nominations -- Supporting Actors, Cinematography, Costume Design -- the official Oscars website has it here.

If The Help wins Im doing an oillie out this universe. It will be the straw that broke the camels back.

It was the best of the worst, but then again, that's why I'm not the one choosing these nominees.

This is my pick, probably won't win cause it's not artsy enough.

When they didn't nominate Spielberg for Best Director, I knew War Horse was dead in the water. And it was such a great movie, too bad.

Why does everyone on Soda Head insist that Harry Potter is deserving of an Oscar....?

reply
Bushie to vinone 2012/01/25 04:50:28

I don't...

reply
Simmeri... to vinone 2012/01/25 05:21:41

Because Sodahead has a very young demographic and younger people are less likely to go see the more artistic films.

Wizard to Hey Jud... 2012/01/25 22:59:42 (edited)

I already mentioned it is soooo good as a franchise...it requires and deserves its own special mention Oscar...but who can trust the Academy to see the special dispensation?

If they refuse to acknowledge the Harry Potter franchise in any way they will lose whatever credibility they have left with the public.

"Hugo"

i picked this cause i never heard of it and there was no option 'none'
none of these deserve it, its just picking the lesser of the evils or bad, like our presidential candidates from all parties

"Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close"

I have not seen them all yet, so I reserve the right to change my vote before February 26. I am just thankful that they did not nominate "The Iron Lady." It was the biggest disappointment of the year and I would have lost all faith in the Academy.

reply
Lucy to Tenness... 2012/01/25 04:52:12

Was the Iron Lady released in 2011?

reply
Tenness... to Lucy 2012/01/25 06:28:16

Yes! It just got in on time to qualify. Meryl Streep won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Dramatic Film for her performance in "The Iron Lady." Michele Williams won for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for her performance in "My Week With Marilyn." They are both nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role, so only one can win!

I think Michael Williams will get best actress for playing Marilyn .

Yes, she should win because her Marilyn was amazing.

reply
Wizard to Lucy 2012/01/25 22:56:21

I will be in shock if they pass her up. All the buzz is her Oscar nod. Course Meryl Strep is up for it too. That might confuse the academy voters...who are peers. I think that Michael should get it based on an amazing performance however. She will be getting more money in her next films. Everyone wants to watch her now...which translates into box office.

The inclusion of "Extremely Banal & Incredibly Hyped" without a tenth nomination in the category shows how the Hollywood Hype / Money Machine is still alive and well...

Any movie with Sandra Bullock in it deserves to win. I want her to win every year whether she has made a movie or not!

reply
Voicedude to Tenness... 2012/01/25 19:19:56

...who could argue with such logic!

I, however, am a voting SAG member, so I can only follow the rules of the Guild...

reply
Tenness... to Voicedude 2012/01/25 23:14:01

If you voted for Melissa Leo last year to win the SAG Award for "Best Actress in a Supporting Role" for her performance in "The Fighter" (which she did win), you are a great member of SAG and I want you to always follow the rules. If you did not, shame on you! Melissa and Sandra are the greatest!

reply
Voicedude to Tenness... 2012/01/27 17:53:11

To be honest, I voted for little Hailee Steinfeld of 'True Grit' because I thought she stole the show from deservedly Oscar nominated Jeff Bridges. But I was not unhappy when Leo won, as she was my second choice.

And yes, I voted for Sandra the year she won.... :^)

Thank you for your honesty! Just promise that you will always lobby for Melissa and Sandra in the future and introduce a by-law providing that they should get special awards every year just for being who they are.

You should get one too for being so honest. It should be called "The Honest Abe Lincoln Award."
