Oscar Nominations 2013
2013 Oscar Nominations
Here are the Oscar nominations for 2013. There were some snubs here and there, like Leonardo DiCaprio not being nominated for Django Unchained or Ben Affleck not getting a nod for Best Director for Argo. What can I say? It’s the Oscars. My picks are highlighted in red.
