Oscar Nominations 2012: Was Leonardo DiCaprio Snubbed? | Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Fassbender, Ryan Gosling
Veteran movie stars Brad Pitt and George Clooney made the cut. So did funny girl Melissa McCarthy, along with fresher faces like Rooney Mara and Jean Dujardin. But, as usual, not everyone was recognized by the Academy Awards when the nominations were announced Tuesday morning.

In fact, some leading men who seemed a shoo-in for a gold statue were snubbed from the Best Actor category: Michael Fassbender, Ryan Gosling and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Although the role earned him a Golden Globe Awards nomination, Fassbender's provocative role as a sex addict for Shame did not secure him a spot on the list. Also left out: Gosling, who was a double-nominee at the Globes for his roles in Crazy, Stupid, Love and The Ides of March (for which Clooney is nominated for Adapted Screenplay).

No stranger to snubs, DiCaprio didn't receive recognition for his work in the J. Edgar biopic, although he might get a little redemption at Sunday's Screen Actors Guild Awards.

With Clooney (The Descendants), Pitt (Moneyball), Demián Bichir (A Better Life), Jean Dujardin (The Artist) and Gary Oldman (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) preparing to face off on Feb. 26 for the 84th Annual Academy Awards, airing live from Hollywood's Kodak Theatre on ABC at 7 p.m., tell us: Which leading man should have gotten an Oscar nod?

As a student there I benefited from many things that I couldn’t have possibily learned in my home university. Studying abroad is a decision that requires courage. Even more, if it’s in a foreign country with a very different culture than yours. I think there are many things to take away from China. From culture, to future job perspectives and of course achiving a higher level of mandarin I guess that most people try to work or study in China due to job opportunities. In this sense, it is indeed a country where engineer students will get the best formation possible, along with some experience, as in many universities there are interships programs. For example, University of Nottingham has links with many important companies like Huaweii or Microsoft. Also, it has many power in bu

  https://www.istudy-china.com/    Related What are the advantages and disadvantages studying in China? Hello! My name is Clara and I am a former student of University of Nottingham Ningbo. I was an exchange student and lived in Ningbo for several months. So, I learned plenty of things. Even though, I bring with me positive memories, I also carry some downsides. China is a very complex country. It’s like going on a boat on a peacuful river and occasionaly having to dodge the obstacles in your way. Sometimes it’s just a rock and sometimes it’s a big current. Along with this metaphore, I have an interesting story that happened in Guillin. We were riding it’s famous river, going along the water in a bambu boat. When suddenly, another boat came too close to us. The driver dodge the boat but one of our chairs, fell in the water. It was very poetic to observe how the chair was submerging into the water bit by bit, and we could not do much about, as the current of the river moved us forward.
