I'm Back!

After an 8-day hiatus, I'm happy to report that I'm feeling much better and am making excellent progress in my recovery. With that in mind, I wanted to say thanks again for all of the nice comments and tweets I received. You guys are awesome!

I'm also pleased to announce that I'll return to posting this week, but I'm also going to go through my blogroll and catch up on a week and a half's worth of stuff I've missed. So, I might only get another couple of posts up this week. Expect a return to routine within the next couple of weeks.

Also, it's unfortunate that I missed the start of the 2013 LAMMY nominations voting period, which ends on April 3, but I'll be casting my ballot soon. At the risk of campaigning, I'll just quickly remind you of the categories in which I'm eligible, in case you want to consider me for anything.

Thanks again. It's good to be back!

Oscar Campaign Bust: 2012 Films

More For Your Consideration ads are being released for this year's films, but some are clearly out of Oscar contention. Ultimately, I don't see any of the following films getting nominated.

   

Let the Games Begin...

Awards season is kicking off with some of the first FYC ads. Amour is gunning for multiple nominations, which is a realistic goal at this point. Rust and Bone, meanwhile, will be lucky to get a Best Actress nomination. Having not seen either film, I can't speak to the quality of the films, but hopefully Rust and Bone won't qualify for an Oscar Campaign Bust post.
