Cheers to nods for Josh Brolin and Michael Shannon, jeers to the neglect of "WALL-E" and "The Dark Knight," and wonderment at why anyone would turn down the chance to have Bruce Springsteen perform on their telecast -- on this week's IFC News Podcast, we look over this year's Oscar nods.

Just an fyi, Maya Arulpragasam is MIA, so she was nominated, just not for Paper Planes.
Thanks for the note and correction -- I never made the connection. That, at least, should be a worthy performance to see in the midst of this year's ceremony.
Hey there, love the podcast! Just wanted to make one correction, you said that Michelle Pfeiffer and Sally Dworsky performed "When You Believe" in 1999 at the Oscars, but that is incorrect. Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston performed the song, you can watch it on youtube.
