Caroline McCarthy from CNET’s The Social blog joins us on today’s podcast to discuss this morning’s Oscar nominations and eight nods for “The Social Network” including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Screenplay Adaptation, Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Original Score.
The film undoubtedly deserves the recognition, but it seems they left off Andrew Garfield for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Eduardo Saverin, Facebook’s co-founder and a 5 percent shareholder of the $2.5 billion company.
Despite this oversight, Garfield will likely have another chance with his upcoming role as the famous Webslinger in the upcoming reboot of the Spider-Man franchise. The rest of the cast includes Rhys Ifans as the Lizard, Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, and Chris Zylka as Flash Thompson.
But there’s no chance the movie will be quite as awful as “Turn off the Dark,” Broadway’s version of the Spider-Man genesis wrought with disaster even in the face of its new finale.
Wilson checked out an early preview of the show and has an equally negative review to share that makes this Onion headline sound right on the mark: “Nuclear Bomb Detonates During Rehearsal For ‘Spider-Man’ Musical.” We blame Bono.
As usual, the Razzie nominations were announced today in conjunction with the Oscars, and it’s no surprise that the “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” swept the Golden Raspberries for Worst Picture, Worst Actor (Robert Pattinson), Worst Screenplay, and…actually, the movie appears in all the categories except for
Worst Supporting Actress and Worst Eye-Gouging Misuse of 3D, where they were ineligible to be nominated.
