Oscars 2013: Who Missed Out The good, the deserving and the plain unlucky Tweet

John Hawkes Category: Best Actor Film: The Sessions The absence of John Hawkes’ name from the Best Actor category was the closest this year’s voters came to bloody-mindedness, especially with The Sessions’s co-star Helen Hunt picking up a nomination in a less demanding (though still tricky) role. Perhaps it was the lack of ‘big’ dramatic moments that deterred the Academy – Hawkes’ performance as a quadriplegic man searching for sex is playful and dialled back – or maybe there’s a groundswell against able-bodied actors playing disabled characters to account for his and Cotillard’s absences. Like the French actress, the ever-impressive Hawkes will be back.

	Best editing-Cloud Atlas, by miles. Best Actor-Liam Neeson in The Grey. Best makeup-Cloud Atlas. Samuel L and Leo deserve supporting actor nods too. More

	Marion Cotillard undoubtedly should have got a nomination and should really win the Oscar too. The biggest omission for me - besides Ben Affleck for Best Director - is no nod for Sam Rockwell as Best Supporting Actor in Seven Psychopaths!!!! More

3	TDKR
	I didn't expect too many nominations for TDKR, but I think it is inexcusable not to have nominated Wally Pfister for his outstanding cinematography, I don't care if he's already won, doesn't mean his work isn't still great. Nice to see Roger Deakins get the nod though :) More

4	Best Score?!?!
	Why is Beasts of the Southern Wild not included in this category? Of the list I've only seen Skyfall and Life of Pi and while those are both great scores (Skyfall beats Life of Pi in my opinion) neither are better than Beasts. I downloaded it as soon as I saw the film and it instantly brings back the feelings while watching it. I can only think it must not have been eligible. For me the best score of the year by far. More

	Leo DiCaprio and Samuel L Jackson both for supporting actors in Django, for sure. Both excellent performers and both long overdue statuettes. More

	Totally agree with Cloud Atlas. For Best Picture, Best Editing (it's seriously impressive how they have pulled it off, not to mention different than any other movies we've ever seen) and Best Adapted Screenplay, like the other person suggested. Perhaps also for Best Special Effects. More

10	Supporting Actor
	Disappointed to see no love for Jude Law. Everyone seems to have forgotten just how brilliant he was in Anna Karenina, despite a lot of buzz around his performance at the time. Pity. :( More

	Cotillard really should have been nominated, she was incredible in Rust & Bone. Not a big fan of the film itself, though. More
