How good is John Hawkes in "The Sessions"? As a polio-stricken man paralyzed from the neck down, Hawkes spends the entire 90-minute film simply laying there, but still gives one of the most inspiring and emotional performances of 2012. Somehow, he was passed up for Best Actor. Thankfully, his daring "Sessions" co-star Helen Hunt has been nominated for Best Supporting Actress.—David Onda (Photo: Fox Searchlight)

7. Hooper, Bigel...The Best Director category is stacked this year, but surprise nominations for Michael Haneke ("Amour") and Benh Zeitlin ("Beasts of the Southern Wild") left big names like Tom Hooper ("Les Misérables"), Kathryn Bigelow ("Zero Dark Thirty"), Quentin Tarantino ("Django Unchained") and Ben Affleck ("Argo") out in the cold. Affleck was also snubbed in the Best Actor category.—David Onda (Photos: Getty Images)

6. The Host Gets...It's not every year that the host of the Academy Awards finds himself a nominee as well.

5. 'Beasts of th...One of last year's most critically acclaimed films is also one of its biggest sleeper hits.
