Oscar nominations – Patterson, Miracle Fish in, everybody else out

A tough year for Australians; only costume designer Janet Patterson (Bright Star) and Luke Doolan and Drew Bailey (Miracle Fish in Short Film – Live Action) were nominated for the 82nd Academy Awards.

Samson & Delilah missed out as Israel, Argentina, Peru, France and Germany compete for Best Foreign Film. Producer Kath Shelper said on Twitter: “OK. Disappointed, but now I can have a nap.”

The Academy demonstrated once again that they can’t see much beyond US animation by preferring Disney’s latest 2D offering The Princess and the Frog over Adam Elliott’s Mary & Max.

This is the full list of nominees. Our predictions (who will win, not who deserves to win) are in bold. The ceremony will take place on March 7.
