Oscar Nominations: Who Got Dissed and Who Got Some Surprise Love

The Academy Award nominations were released this morning and were full of snubs and surprises. The biggest diss was an obvious one: 'Inception' director Christopher Nolan, whose film received eight nominations including best picture, failed to score a best director nomination. Mila Kunis, Ryan Gosling and Michael Douglas, all of whom were shortlisted by critics groups and the Golden Globes in the lead-up to the noms and were expected to be on the ballot, also all failed to land nominations.

With 12 nods, 'The King's Speech' leads all nominees with the Coen brothers' box office smash 'True Grit' hot on its tail with a surprise 10 nominations, and while the 'Social Network' scored an impressive eight nods (tied with 'Inception' for third best), supporting players Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake didn't feel any Oscar love. Nor did Ben Affleck's acclaimed hit 'The Town' -- its only nomination came for Jeremy Renner in the best supporting actor category.

So who came out of nowhere to take their place? After the jump, we break down who got left in the cold and who got invited to the big show instead.

How Nigeria incurred the Boko Haram

| Print |  E-mail Tuesday, 28 June 2011 The Yoruba say when a kid falls, he or she looks ahead and walks on. But when an elder falls, he or she looks back to see the cause and remove it before going ahead. How did Nigeria incur the Boko Haram? In 1979, the fathers of Nigeria’s constitution documented it that Nigeria must be a secular state. But ever since then, many Muslim and Christian leaders insisted that the country cannot be treated as secular. They keep covering-up with the insistence that Nigeria is a multi-religious state, and it should be regarded and operated as such. They ignored the fact that secularity is declared in a democratic multi-religious state so as to maintain religious peace and harmony in the state. Most unfortunately, many Islamic and Christian scholars join in depicting state secularity as implying a religion-less and godless state, rather than a state in which religion is regarded as personal and private to individuals or groups of individuals ...
