ACADEMY AWARDS

“Silver Linings Playbook” Dominates List of 2013 Oscar Nominations

Anne-Hathaway-Fantine-Les-miserablesThe granddaddy of all awards shows is finally nigh, as nominations for the 85th annual Academy Awards were announced this morning.

And if you’re a betting person, Silver Linings Playbook, Les Misérables and Lincoln are leading the pack.

It’s slim pickings for LGBT films and representations, though queer folk did get honors: activist/journalist David France’s seminal AIDS doc How to Survive a Plague  is up for  Best Documentary, out playwright Tony Kushner scored a Best Adapted Screenplay nom for Lincoln, and gay filmmaker Chris Butler’s  ParaNorman, is up for Best Animated Feature.

And, of course, gay-fave Adele might add an Oscar to her mantle with the theme from Skyfall (called it).
