The nominees for Best Actor in a Leading Role are Bradley Cooper (Silver Linings Playbook), Daniel Day-Lewis (Lincoln), Joaquin Phoenix (The Master), Denzel Washington (Flight), and Hugh Jackman (Les Misérables).
Here we have the original Misérable, Grumpy Cat, offering his take on the buzz surrounding the Oscar contenders.

Actress Angelina Jolie wore a gown with a thigh-high slit to last year’s Oscars, and her exposed leg caused quite a stir – and memes.
Don’t feel bad for yet-to-win-an-Oscar actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
