Actor Chris Pine, Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs, and directors Alfonso Cuarón and J.J. Abrams,announced today the nominations for all 24 Oscar categories at a live news conference at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. See all the nominees below.
No real surprises! I’m a little bit disappointed that Nightcrawler didn’t get a Best Picture nod plus even more surprised American Sniper did as I think it barely made the cut off to be nominated in the first place. I really do hope that this year we have some surprise winners, The Golden Globes were very predictable.
