I'm completely fine with this, although I am suspecting that it's becoming an Oscar tradition to just throw in one Spanish actor our of nowhere. Last year it was Javiar Bardem for Biutiful, which he was pretty damn good in. I can't really speak for Demian Bichir though since I have not seen A Better Life yet. It is a shame (heh, get it) Michae Fassbender was not nominated for his portrayal of a sex addict in Shame. But I am extremely happy to see that Gary Oldman was nominated for his very first Oscar. If anyone deserves to be nominated, it's definitely him. Michael Fassbender wasn't the only actor to be snubbed for a nomination. Leonardo DiCaprio was one of the favorites to be nominated for his portrayel of J. Edgar Hoover in the Clint Eastwood directed film J. Edgar. Even if everything may have went wrong in that movie, he was the one thing that went right, even with a glob of make-up on his face. Also, the It-Man of the year, Ryan Gosling, was looked over for his roles in Drive and The Ides of March. It seemed as if he was a shoo-in with all of the great things he's been a part of in 2011, but the Oscars voters obviously felt differently and ignored this beautiful man.
