"Django Unchained" Up For Four Oscar Nominations

The 2013 Oscar nominations are out and Quentin Tarantino's controversial spaghetti western is officially going for the gold.

"Django Unchained," a slavery/ love story set before the Civil War, was nominated for best picture, original screenplay, best cinematography and best supporting actor for Christoph Waltz, who plays the bounty hunter teacher to Jamie Foxx.

However, it seems VIBE cover stars Foxx, Kerry Washington and Leonardo DiCaprio, along with Samuel L. Jackson and the director himself, were M.I.A. in the categories for the Academy Awards.

"I don't feel like an outsider," Tarantino said in an interview with BBC when asked how he feels about being omitted from Best Director. "I was an independent filmmaker when I came out with 'Reservoir Dogs' and then in 'Pulp Fiction,' I had that kind of outsider's energy...but they didn't treat me as an outsider. They embraced me and were really applauding my success. Since then, I've been an upstanding member of the Hollywood community."

The flick has been a buzzy topic--even debuting its own dolls--among viewers and users for its depiction of history. While Tarantino seems impervious to the controversy, he says just getting the nod is satisfying. "The recognition and being invited to the party is enough."

Best Picture: "Django Unchained"

Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz, "Django Unchained"

Best Original Screenplay: "Django Unchained"

How was Waltz "not that good" what the !! movie did you watch?

Compared to sammy and leo... They stole the show...

Waltz was good but he didnt blow me away like he did in inglorious bastards

Leonardo had the best performance in this movie

Waltz was really good, but Leonardo took the Calvin Candie role and the movie, overall, to another level.

lol his character was outshined by decaprio's and jackson's

He used a DP but he should get best screen play.

Why couldn't Leo get a nomination?

Didn't that one woman win for being on the screen for a total of not even 15 mins recently?

Leo snubbed, !! the oscars

Let's be real here, I think he had a dope[..] performance maybe second best in the film to Uncle Ruckus. Did you guys really think an organization that's been accused for years of being racist was gonna give a guy an award for being a slave master? Oh the outrage would have been deep In the streets. Man people is just gettin over shorty get an award for playing Aunt Jemima last year.

Real talk though, Leo did light up that movie.. That was an electric[..] performance..

I'm going to see it Saturday can't !!in wait yo [pic]
