Three of this morning's Oscar nominations are for films playing at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival

• The French-Canadian drama “Monsieur Lazhar” was nominated for best foreign-language film.
• Lucy Walker's “The Tsumani and the Cherry Blossom” (in the Documentary Spotlight program) was nominated in the documentary short category.
• Grant Orchard's “A Morning Stroll” (playing in Shorts Program I) was nominated for animated short.

Meanwhile, these nominations went to movies that played at last year's festival:

• “Margin Call” got an original-screenplay nomination for J.C. Chandor.
• The documentaries “Hell and Back Again” (about a soldier's return from Afghanistan) and “If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front” both were nominated for documentary feature.
• “The Barber of Birmingham: Foot Soldier of the Civil Rights Movement” was nominated for documentary short.

Two of the biggest snubs among the not-nominated involve Sundance '11 titles:

• “Martha Marcy May Marlene,” which might have deserved recognition for its original screenplay, or for the performances by Elizabeth Olsen or John Hawkes.
• "Take Shelter" arguably deserved nominations for Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain (who was instead nominated for "The Help").
