Let’s just get this out of the way up front: Great job, Academy ! That the AMPAS found room for everything from Winter’s Bone to Toy Story 3 to the ferocious performance given by Movieline favorite Jacki Weaver means they deserve a bit of kudos. (If you’re one of those, “Yawn, I’m too cool for the Oscars!” people, just go back to bed today.) Of course that doesn’t mean many, many deserving nominees were left out in the cold this morning. Ahead, the six biggest from the major categories.

James Franco has been an Academy Award nominee for a little less than two hours now, but he’s already fired his first shot across the bows of The Social Network and other “classically made” but utterly conventional Hollywood offerings — Oscar front-runners or not. And he let it rip exclusively in conversation with Movieline.

Three reasons to be excited for the Golden Globes: 1.) Tina Fey may give a speech; 2.) Ricky Gervais may enjoy the longest broadcast chucklefit since Ed McMahon left the air; 3.) Every once in awhile, the Golden Globes award the right people and the Oscars don’t. Join us for a stroll into Golden Globe past, where it turns out the HFPA sometimes — sparingly, mind you — executes better judgment than AMPAS.

Have you ever watched an awards show and thought, “This is great , but the Twitter-based ramblings of eight bloggers, countless commenters and their impromptu drinking games developed along the way would really make it magical ?” I know, I know — when haven’t you done that? Right, Brendan Fraser? Anyway, you get where I’m going with this.

On the one hand, I’m reluctant to even go here because of the inevitable cascade of “Is this foot-fetish joke video Jacki Weaver’s Norbit ?” controversy. On the other, it’s Friday and all I want is to hit the eject button on this hellish week. And anyway, what kind of comprehensive Team Jacki repository / campaign headquarters would this be without this interlude cataloged among the voluminous archives? Watch and learn.

Awards-season slump aside, 127 Hours is on a roll in at least one of Hollywood’s most closely watched demographics: Illegal downloaders. A new report has the James Franco film way out in front of Oscar competition True Grit and Inception ; the revelation follows word that distributor Fox Searchlight will eschew SAG screeners for 127 and Black Swan in favor of secure iTunes downloads. Of course this whole thing royally screws up Movieline’s 127 Hours Fainting Tracker , but that’s the biz. Congrats? [ THR ]

As noted in today’s edition of The Broadsheet, a writer at VF. com has made a compelling (or at least intriguing, or at least time-killing) case for The King’s Speech being little more than a well-produced riff on the original 1984 version of The Karate Kid . On the one hand, tropes is tropes; there are only so many original stories in the world, and eventually everything will have something in common. On the other… I mean, “The unorthodox, uncredentialed teacher is contrasted with a cruel — but more respected — educator.” Or, “The teacher helps fill a void left by the student’s absent father.” Is this the beginning of a covert Sony vs. Weinstein Oscar-season war?

The official list of Academy Award eligible scores numbers 77 in total, but don’t expect to see many of your favorites get recognized come nomination time. As previously reported , Black Swan , The Fighter , Tangled , The Kids Are All Right and True Grit were deemed ineligible because of their reliance on previously produced music, and now comes words that Randy Newman declined to enter his Toy Story 3 score in the running. This marks the first time Pixar won’t have a nomination in the Best Original Score category since Cars was passed over in 2006. [ In Contention ]
