After months of predictions, speculations, headaches... Academy announces their nominations for 2014. "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and "Birdman" leads the pack with 9 nominations each. For the first time since the rules change, there are 8 nominations in best picture instead of 9. Other films nominated are Boyhood, Selma, The Imitation Game, The Theory of Everything and Whiplash. For the first time since the picture field expanded, we have a best director nominee with no best picture nomination, Bennett Miller for "Foxcatcher". A big surprise. There were major shut outs in animation and documentary, no "The Lego Movie" or "Life Itself". "Gone Girl" is missing from many categories including picture, editing, score and adapted screenplay. PTA's "Inherent Vice" had a surprise showing in costume design and adapted screenplay. Laura Dern nominated for "Wild" in supporting actress after being overlooked almost everywhere. That means no Jessica Chastain for "A Most Violent Year". Selma itself was overlooked everywhere... the biggest of all in best actor. David Oyelowo's remarkable performance was snubbed, also Jake Gyllenhaal for "Nightcrawler". One of the most welcome surprises came in lead actress with a nomination for Marion Cotillard in "Two Days, One Night". Bradley Cooper got his 3rd consecutive nomination after being recognized for lead in "Silver Linings Playbook" and supporting in "American Hustle". American Sniper itself got editing, the 2 sound nominations and adapted screenplay. "Foxcatcher" had a good showing which I wasn't expecting.
In the foriegn language category, "Force Majeure" was snubbed for "Tangerines". Birdman didn't make it in editing despite huge support elsewhere. No The Hobbit or Godzilla in visual effects. Great to see "Mr. Turner" in a few technical categories. And who can forget that amazing mention of "Ida" in cinematography? Oscars nominations this year are a mixture of good and weird surprises. Confirmation of our usual fears and well... bad luck!
