Oscar 2012 - All Nominees

The full list of the nominees of the 84th Annual Academy Awards was announced this morning by Jennifer Lawrence, who was nominated for her performance in "Winter's Bone" in 2011.

"Hugo" has 11 chances to get an award; "The Artist" has 10 nominations; "Moneyball" and "War Horse" were honored with 6; "The Descendants" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" have 5 nominations each.

I'm going to see "The Artist" these days (it will be finally out in my country!), but I already know that I will hope it gets the Oscar in a month for Best Picture. My other predictions are selected with blue colour, but some nominations I left untouched, because I have no idea how they will choose winners for Film Editing, Best Documentary (I haven't watched none of them), Best Short Film or Sound Editing.

"Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" (2011) - Trailer

This fall one very mysterious story will hit our theaters. An ex-British agent George Smiley (Gary Oldman) is brought out of retirement to rout out a MI6 double agent in this adaptation of John Le Carre's novel called "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy". Why should we be interested in this movie? Because its cast is great (I never thought I’ll see all these talented British actors together in one movie.). Colin Firth, John Hurt, Tom Hardy, Mark Strong, Benedict Cumberbatch and Ciaran Hinds round out the starring cast, with Tomas Alfredson helming a script by Bridget O'Connor and Peter Straughan. But it isn’t the first time, when this novel is filmed. In 1979, the BBC aired a highly-acclaimed mini-series adaptation starring Alec Guiness in a rare small-screen appearance. (Rotten Tomatoes) 

Этой осенью в наших кинотеатрах мы увидим еще одну полную загадок историю. Бывший британский шпион Джордж Смайли (Гари Олдман) вынужден вернуться с пенсии, что бы вновь стать двойным агентом MИ-6 (служба внешней разведки) в экранизации романа Джона Ле Карре «Шпион, выйди вон!». Почему же этот, с первого взгляда столь предсказуемый, фильм должен быть нам интересен? Потому что актерский состав его превосходен (никогда не думала, что увижу всех этих талантливых британских актеров в одной кинокартине). Колин Ферт, Джон Херт, Том Харди, Марк Стронг, Бенедикт Камбербэтч и Киаран Хайндс исполняют основные роли, в то время как режиссером выступил Томас Альфредсон, а сценаристами стали Бриджет О’Коннор и Питер Строхан. Но это произведение экранизовали и раньше. В 1979 году телеканал BBC выпустил мини-сериал с актером Алеком Гиннессом в главной роли.

Release dates - September 16, 2011 (UK), November 10, 2011 (Germany), November 18, 2011 (USA)
