Whooaaa every single nominated person in an actor/tress category is white.

Of course.
And you know they were stingy with Selma because they already recognised a black film last year.

Surprised at American Sniper nominations.

I want Benedict to win for Best Leading Role.

Too bad Michael Keaton will be snatching. As will Patricia Arquette and Julianne Moore.

[blewis1103]

I'm sorry but where the hell did American Sniper come from? I like Bradley Cooper and all, but did he really deserve a nom over Jake or David? He literally has no chance of winning against Eddie or Michael. And the fact that it got more more nominations over Selma is just

I wish Jennifer would've made it in for Best Actress, but apparently Marion really gave an excellent performance so I don't mind. Julianne is probably going to win anyway.

What happened to Gone Girl and Selma though

[Luminary]

Marion for a Belgian movie as well

BP list is okay.. Gone Girl deserved a spot tho.
BD is a joke! No Ava? No David? Can't believe that Tyldum guy got in..
Best Actor is a joke as well Bradley? Steve? lol
Best Actress list is on point tho!

4 of the 8 Best Picture nominated films ARE BIOPICS, so even by expanding the amount of nominees they STILL fall fo the same ****

Imitation Game, Selma, American Sniper and Theory of Everything are ALL SUCH GENERIC OSCAR BAIT

Well, to be fair, only Birdman is a revolutionary pic in here, Because besides the gimmick of making Boyhood for 12 years the movie really is nothing but a basic indie drama

[Chyene]

I think the closest calls on the night will be Michael vs Eddie, Birdman vs Boyhood and maybe Julianne vs Marion

[EdgeOfAddiction]

American Sniper was such a surprise. I was taken aback by how great it was. Completely deserved.
Random how Bradley Cooper went form an extra on Alias to international movie star.

Birdman was SUCH an extraordinary film! The acting, the direction and the screenplay were all spectacular. I hope it can pull through and win.

[Bad Wolf]

And none for Jennifer Aniston

[Artemisia]

not gone girl only getting one nomination bye

[Skywalker]

Bradley Cooper is now a four time Academy Award-nominee due to his Best Actor and Producing nom this year.

[KylieistBoi]

I kinda wish The Grand Budapest Hotel to snatch the BP from Boyhood/Birdman but it doesn't have any acting nominations, so I don't think it really stands a chance?

[Chyene]

Kind of surprised at Laura Dern. I haven't seen Wild yet and I didn't really hear much about her performance.

[superben]

Bradley Cooper?

She was very good, although it's a pretty tiny role she makes an impression.

I haven't seen A Most Violent Year but Chastain looks good based on the trailer, too bad she didn't get in.

[Iman]

Grateful got a nom so I might perch for a Rita performance

[karma police]

yes @ two nominations for Ida!

[feelslikeadream]

95% predictable noms. I'm so not into the Oscars this year. The Best Pic noms are almost all so basic. They are films made specifically for Oscar noms, and then they got them.

Rooting for Boyhood just because Linklater is long overdue.
