Here Are The 2015 Academy Award Nominations!
Don’t lie, dear readers: I know you’ve all been on the edge of your seat waiting to see which films get snubbed this year! Which of your favorite films will be totally ignored, or related to a simple Best Sound Mixing nomination?! Well, I’ve included the full list below, but there are a few curious choices here. One omission of note is the lack of The LEGO Movie in the Best Animated Picture category (although Isao Takahata’s The Tale of Princess Kaguya did thankfully get a nod). Another surprise is the number of noms for American Sniper, which is probably at the top of my list titled “Films I Couldn’t Care Less About.” Check out some salient tweets and the full list below!
I heard a good summary last week: The Oscars are not the best movies. They are a reflection of what Hollywood wants to think of itself.

Congrats to "Everything is Awesome" though currently the title of the song doesn't seem especially accurate!
