Django Unchained nominated for 5 Oscars
The verdict is in. Members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) have cast their ballots in a – not altogether smooth (there had been glitches in the electronic voting process employed this year) – process over the last few weeks, and the nominations for the “Oscar” are in. Some of these do not come as a surprise, but there are some omissions – cruel as always. The Golden Globes will be awarded on Sunday, and Django Unchained received a number of BAFTA nominations yesterday (click here). Django Unchained (click here to read our review) received 5 nods:
- Best picture (producers Stacey Sher, Reginald Hudlin, Pilar Savone)
- Best original screenplay: Quentin Tarantino
- Best supporting actor: Christoph Waltz
- Best sound editing: Wylie Stateman
- Best cinematography: Robert Richardson

Tonight, Django Unchained premieres in the UK.
i dont know why quentin was not nominated for director
Quentin Tarantino; Best Director No Doubt
Leonardo DiCaprio ; Best Actor for his portrayal of Calvin Candie a cross between Caligula and Simon Legree
Fucking AMPAS! I don’t now why Quentin was not nominate for best diretoc
Hey Tarantula – about the “Django” – too much “niggers” and too much light when it shouldn’t be – especially at the beginning in the forest scenes – that was ridiculous. And Samuel L. Jackson – the worst acting of his career.
You = stupid
thanks tarantino!
