Who got snubbed?
According to most of the precursors and several regional critics organizations who went abso-bonkers for The Descendants, Shailene Woodley is the one that's missing from that list above for playing George Clooney's sorta rebellions sorta not daughter. Earlier in the year it looked like electrifying work by Vanessa Redgrave in Coriolanus and Carey Mulligan in Shame might win traction but that didn't come to pass.
Who will win?
You can probably take Octavia Spencer to the bank barring a really really strange flood of anomalous support for her friend Melissa McCarthy (the nomination is usually the reward for comedy) or The Artist's tux having major coattails for Bejo.
