Keira Knightley - New York Film Academy Award Nominee

and not even for Anna Karenina

and not even for Anna Karenina

Please, this is the New York Film Academy we're talking about here. They have a reputation to uphold, clearly. Even if they had a thousand nominations to give out (and they nearly do!) some thresholds of taste and quality must not be breached.

[CultureTilt]

Dammit, now I have to completely change my Oscar predix. I knew Lincoln was over-hyped.

[TheChrisVolta]

Lmfao guys.

You said it, bro.

[Submerge]

This reminds me. Isn't it about time for the Charlottesville Film Critics to announce?

[kissfromarose]

Isn't the NYFA some shady film school whose acting graduates end up the most successful background performers in the industry?

[filmy]

Um, these are apparently five dudes. One of which lives in a tub.

It actually looks like a prison cell.

[oliksa]

OMG, they nominated Sam Jackson

Now the oscars can come

[Eternal]

The nominations announcement for these prestigious awards is amazing:

Can you imagine what it'll feel like for Jennifer Lawrence when she recieves fan mail from these idiots with a cardboard cutout of some award they designed on Microsoft Office that says she won the NYFA. She's going to freak the fuck out!

[Donezo]

Bow to dame keira

These are less prestigious than the INOCAs, tbh.

[HollyG]

I'm so confused right now.

[Aldo]

Best Ending categories should be illegal.

[dlong5665]

I love how LoA has just given up and doesn't even bother to capitalize Keira anymore. Don't lose hope, girl. There's always next year (and the year after that then the year after that etc.).
