All 3 Transformers movies are Oscar nominated and Pacific Rim isn't?

Yeah, for effects, although I'm pretty sure one or two of the Transformers movies got sound nomination as well. I might be biased, but I was absolutely blown away by the VFX in Pacific Rim. I came into it with incredibly high expectations and while the story was a bit of a let down it made up for it in giant robots fighting in incredible settings.

I'm not sure how they nominated Iron Man 3 ahead of it, but, it's a moot point, any way. Gravity is going to win that one.

Yeah, Gravity's a lock.
I don't have a problem with the Iron Man 3 nomination. The mansion, airplane, and Iron Men scenes were all pretty impressive visually. But I feel like Star Trek, Hobbit, and Lone Ranger all got nominated just because of their final act scenes. The enterprise going down, Smaug, and while I didn't see LR I've heard there's a pretty good train sequence in it towards the end. Whereas Pacific Rim from start to finish was a special effects bonanza.

Best Actor was a tough category to crack. No Hanks or Phoenix either. I hope Leo gets his first Oscar here. He's long overdue.

I went into Frozen expecting Ice Age but it's Little Mermaid on ice, a musical.

Frozen was classic Disney. They've been trending that way for a while with their kids movies. I think it's genius. The kids love them!

Finally got to see it this week and if anyone is thinking of waiting for it to come out on Blu-ray or downloading it, do yourself a favour and see it in Imax 3d.
Fantastic movie. I wonder if all the aficionados about this movie would be as willing to investigate everything about the mafia, in order to make sure that a show like the Sopranos or a movie like the Godfather, were as authentic as could be.
An Estonian laugh was heard.............once.

The classic-iest of Disney is a short that they released last year that won the Animated short Oscar last year...Paperman. If you haven't seen it, it is absolutely spectacular in capturing the emotion that Disney films used to be so good at.

I didn't enjoy American Hustle but it looks by the reviews that I'm in the minority on that one.
I found it tried to hard to be witty and outlandish.

I'm not sure why, but that clip goes from being 6:24 long to :58 when you click it. This is the full version of the short: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSxJkKiHXbw
