The glaring snub of Wednesday's nominations was Paul Thomas Anderson's critical darling, The Master, as its' only nomination was for Philip Seymour Hoffman (best supporting actor), leaving Joaquin Phoenix out in the cold two months after his controversial comments about Hollywood's award season.
“I’m just saying that I think it’s bulls**t,” Phoenix told October's Interview. “I think it’s total, utter bulls**t, and I don’t want to be a part of it. I don’t believe in it. It’s a carrot, but it’s the worst-tasting carrot I’ve ever tasted in my whole life. I don’t want this carrot.”
