The Avengers gets nominated for an Oscar.
As expected, it got nominated in the Visual Effects category. ETA: Jeff White, VFX supervisor at Industrial Light and Magic, comments on the nomination to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Dark Knight Rises didn't receive any nominations.
In actress terms at least I'd argue Scarlett Johansson's performance in The Avengers was one of the cleverest and best directed of last year given the requirements.

Spielberg's Lincoln just screams "OSCAR BAIT", but I love the Best Picture nominees this year.

Loving that the Avengers got nominated :) I'm surprised it didn't for the sound editing and mixing though...

I'd love to see Django Unchained win, too.

It was, apparently, not "worthy" of Oscar consideration in other categories, but it was a huge cultural influence this year. I think it ought to be up for Original Screenplay along with Sound Editing. And, honestly, the directing was top notch too. :-)

I'm shocked that John Hawkes didn't get nominated for The Sessions.

As for The Avengers, I think we knew this would be the outcome, though I thought there would be at least one or two more in the technical categories.

If the Avengers turns out to be an artistically successful trilogy, maybe the Academy will pull the stunt they did with LotR:Return of the King, awarding the last movie, not only for the quality of that movie, but also for the quality of the previous instalments. That was what happened, right?
Geez, I need to learn brevity.
Anyway, I hope Kon-Tiki (Norwegian film) takes the foreign film award, just because it is such a ridiculously different film from the others that are nominated in the category. If it wins, it would be as big a surprise as if Avengers won the Best Movie award. It has sharks!
