Oscars outrage!

Inception  in the act of being snubbed

For my take on the 2011 Oscar nominations, see the ABC's Drum website.

Extract:
"My favourite headline for the announcement of this year’s Oscar nominations arrived yesterday morning courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter: “Christopher Nolan's Snub Sparks Twitter Outrage.”

Not mere disappointment, nor scepticism, criticism or disapproval, but no-holds-barred, let’s-load-up-our-shotguns outrage. Genocide in Darfur, world corruption, political executions and imprisonment? Forget it. There’s a very complicated film – Inception - whose director didn’t get nominated for an Oscar.  Start screaming on the internet now!"
