Oscars turn backs on Keira

She was nominated for a BAFTA last week for Atonement. She picked up an Oscar nomination two years ago for Pride & Prejudice. But Keira Knightley’s name did not appear in the Oscar nominations, which have just been read out in Los Angeles, just after 5.30am Pacific Coast time. Her Atonement co-star James McAvoy likewise missed out on his Best Actor category. However, Atonement made it into Best Picture, a surprise to those who noted that the film had failed to receive any nominations in the awards from America's Screenactors Guild, Writers Guild, Directors Guild and Producers Guild – begging the question, if actors, writers, directors and producers had shown no love for Atonement, which Academy members voted for it? Atonement is joined in the Best Picture category by Juno, Michael Clayton, No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood. Coming soon: the nominations in full.

oscar panel seems to get blinded by movie star auras. she may be a movie star, but that's different to being an accomplished actress

keira doesn't deserve a nomination. not cos she's grating (which she is) but because you don't deserve an oscar just because your performance was a little better than usual. 'better than usual' doesn't mean astounding!!! she is beyond average and the

not totally convinced of her acting skills (although she was VERY good in this film) but come on people, lets not kid ourselves- she is incredibly beautiful! (i do agree that she should go and eat a burger though, several preferably!!!)
