    Why is Rebel Wilson missing from the Bridesmaids cast nomination for Best Ensemble? I mean, if Matt Lucas is included...

  • Great question! They omitted Corey Stoll from the _Midnight in Paris_ ensemble, too, and he's arguably the only one in the entire cast with any legitimate (albeit long) shot at Oscar recognition.

  • Dimo says:

    So I have to vote for either Breaking Bad, or Game of Thrones? This is worst than Sophie's Choice!

  • AS says:

    Alright, enough with Bridesmaids!!!! It was a terrible movie, devoid of any wit or intelligence, just gross out humor and insulting cliches about women.
    One of the most infuriating snubs of the year is the instantly forgotten The Sunset Limited. That's not nominated but the horrible Too Big To Fail is? Also, note the absence of Kelly Macdonald as Best Actress from Boardwalk Empire & Curb Your Enthusiasm's zero nominations.

  • Jasper says:

    Oh snap, how did I not see Corey Stoll missing from the MIP cast? That's way weirder.
    Who decides whose names are on the final Ensemble Cast list? Is it a studio submission? Something the voting body decides? Like, I can see Rebel Wilson as an oversight or whatever. But leaving off Stoll is super curious... especially considering his performance is pivotal to that movie working. Also, Carla Bruni is on there, and her character was in considerably fewer scenes and wasn't even given a name. Is somebody mad at him?
    And Jon Hamm is missing from Bridesmaids. Does being uncredited but playing an important supporting role preclude you from being part of an "Ensemble Cast"?

    FASSBENDER!!!!!!!
