Where is DTKR in Best Achievement in Visual Effects?
This is the biggest snub the oscars have ever dared to pull... and no i'm not only talking about the complete lack of The Dark Knight Rises (Still the biggest joke i've ever seen).
Where's Ben Affleck for directing?
Where's Moonrise Kingdom for best pic?
Where's David Chbosky for adapted screenplay?
Where's The Intouchables for Best Foreign Language Film?
Where's Looper for original screenplay?
I could go on and on so don't even get me started on TDKR

TDKR was probably, out of the films I saw last year, the best. It probably should have received a few nominations at least. 
I thought The Hobbit should have some more, too.
I still am relatively happy with these.
I'm glad Les Misérables got a bunch.
The biggest snubs for me:
Zero dark thirty was not nominated for best director.
The dark knight rises was not nominated for best special effects or best score.
Ben Affleck was not nominated for best director.
Looper was not nominated for best oriental screenplay.
Quentin Tarantino was not nominated for best director.
I don't know why people are most shocked that TDKR was not nominated for visual effects...
There was not alot of visual effects in the film, the entire opening act with the plan attack and everything was all real. The bat was real although it flying over the buildings were green screened and a helicopter carrying it with wires.
This is very understandable since Nolan doesn't like overusing visual effects and tries to make his films as real as possible. With that being said... the academy doesn't give a nod to someone who does comic book movies and sci-fi movies with little to no CGI and insists on doing everything the crew possibly can do for real and only uses CGI when the scene involving it is literally impossible to do... now THAT is a snub they have pulled everytime Nolan makes a film.
TDKR was a rushed movie. The screenplay was ridiculous and it was the weakest film in the trilogy, no wonder the Academy ignores it. And you can't possibly call that movie as realistic as possible, Lucas because it had way too many plotholes like... The C.I.A lets people on the plane without checking their faces. Interesting, huh?

To be fair, the only decent thing about TDKR was soundtrack "Deshi deshi basara basara!" (epic). I know most of us love Batman very much, but come on, let's not get delusional like the others, after all we are filmmakers. TDK remains among my most favorite movies ever, but TDKR was a huge fail... it is nowhere near Oscar nominations.

wtf? No seriously, wtf? I never said it was realistic... I said it was REAL, the shots I mentioned were done for REAL I never said everything in the film is realistic for god sake that would be idiotic, no movie in the trilogy has been close to reality.
Well, to be fair TDK and BB were pretty much reality based. TDKR however went into the level of Avatar where anything can happen.

No, just no. In reality, Harvey Dent would not have survived like this
just impossible... I mean look at that eye, it would have dried out immediatly.
and you talk like there is absolutely no plot holes at all in TDK... but there are.
The Dark Knight Trilogy was never really that realistic in the first place and comparing TDKR to Avatar is pure ignorance

Who cares about small plot holes like that? What really matters is the spirit of the story. I think TDKR was the most touching film of the trilogy and the cinematography was fabulous. I loved the IMAX sequences (Cinematography nomination?).
Yes, the soundtrack was very good, but the Academy doesn't seems to like Zimmer.

I wasn't comparing TDKR with Avatar. I said it had unrealistic plot just like Avatar, just like let's say Inception and etc. Saying that something is similar is not the same as "comparing" stuff.

you compared the "unrealistic" plot with Avatar's.
Also most of the so called plot holes in TDKR are things I cannot possibly believe the people who called them out haven't solved yet because I could the very second I saw them.
btw the CIA not checking their faces is not a plot hole

What about the Death Star? (And Star Wars is a masterpiece).
Tiny little details like that don't really subtract from a film for me. It's fiction, you can do basically anything you want.
Star Wars has plenty of problems, I'm not talking of the prequel trilogy, just a New Hope
"Only Imperial Storm Troopers are so precise"
We all know that's not true, Obi-wan.
I actually kinda enjoy finding little problems in things, not because I hate the thing, just because it's amusing. Little "plot holes" are like Easter eggs. It's fun to see how many I can find. They don't ruin films.
What does bother me, though, is when a story sets up certain rules of the world, and then they break those rules without any sort of proper explanation.
There are plenty of weird things with the whole DK trilogy, but I deeply enjoyed watching it, and that's what matters to me.

Again, what I said was that Avatar had an unrealistic plot, and TDKR had an unrealistic plot, quote me where I was actually comparing the plots? They are obviously way too different. Comparison requires details. You either can't read or just refuse to understand the difference, either way I shouldn't waste any more time with you. If I were to say that "Aliens" is a good movie and "Back to the Future" is a good movie, does it strike you as a comparison? All I said was that those are good movies, I didn't say which was better nor did I start analyzing the differences of characters and etc.
1)How could you solve such a back injury, Sherlock? "Oh yeah, let's punch the dude until he's fine, that'll do."
2)Why would a trained CIA operative not check the face of a criminal? "Hey this guy is with a bag on his head" "Cool, let's not check out the face of this person, cause it's funnier this way." is that the logic of intelligent person?
3)How in the name of God could Blake be the only man figuring out who the Batman is, and how does he do that again? Oh yeah he did that by recognizing "the look" on Bruce's face, as if Blake and Bruce are the only people who were hurt in the whole Gotham City. The other citizens are living in the frickin paradise, right?
There's more but come on, you can't handle it anyways.
TDKR is an entertaining film, but it doesn't deserve an Oscar.

I laughed

Because it's the Oscar Nolan deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not an oscar-winning director. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.
Sorry...

Nolan deserves an Oscar for sure, "Memento" is one of the greatest films I've ever seen (my top 20). The truth is, he'll get the Oscar some day and if he doesn't, then who cares? Oscars are overrated anyways, it's more about who is a friend of who. If a movie like "The Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford" gets robbed so bad by the academy then anything can happen... I'm just hoping we don't see Michael Bay winning an Oscar anytime soon

Oh my goat that is so brilliant.
But, seriously, it's not really ridiculous for it to not be nominated. The Oscars usually leave out scifi, super hero, and fantasy films. I guess they just don't take them seriously.
I think that the only film of that lot to ever win Best Picture was The Return of the King.

Looper was not nominated for best oriental screenplay.
I agree, Looper is the best Asian screenplay of the year.
