I was sorry to hear that Angelina Jolie was not nominated.

Also, I'm always glad when Meryl Streep gets nominated because I want her to beat Katherine Hepburn's total, of FOUR Oscars!!

What? The Lego Movie was NOT nominated for Best Animated Feature Film?

May be SPOILERS the live-action shots END SPOILERS
It's far less shocking that the non-nomination of The tale of the princess Kaguya in the Golden Globes to me. I have seen the realisation of Takahata in Heidi girl of the alps and it's far superior to what I have seen for any western animation serie and The Lego Movie. The realisation of The Lego Movie is nothing special and tend to go too fast (A problem too often see in western animation.), as for the screenplay, I like the invitation to creativity and the "new sincerity" in it, but I dislike the message that "everyone is special" of the self-esteem movement.

Hmm, that's an interesting thought. Oh, well. At least Everything Is Awesome got nominated.

I'm not surprised at all that J.K. Simmons got nominated. I haven't seen Whiplash yet, but I remember him from Spider-Man, so I know he did THAT role very well.

I haven't seen Whiplash either, but it having a Best Picture nomination shows that the Academy is liking it a lot.

Despite my position in the (sorta-)film industry, I could care less about the Oscars. However, I'm actively rooting for Michael Keaton for Best Actor. He's long, long been a favorite of mine and he absolutely deserves the recognition for his performance in 'Birdman' (and his career as a whole). Same with Edward Norton, who was equally amazing.

"The LEGO Movie" won a "Critics' Choice Award", last night!!

The Twitter-verse has been on-fire about the Oscars leaving-out LEGO!! The Director made a tweet, that said something like, "We didn't make LEGO to win an Oscar, we made it to set Twitter on-fire!!"

Yes, it did. The director made Lego Oscar, too!

Yeah, I saw that----COOL!!

I did not see any of them AGAIN!! !
I like how T: AOE is getting pelted with Raspberrys (Razzie's). Though I didn't see it (and don't plan to), anything by Michael Bay deserves to be put in stocks and have plenty of Raspberrys thrown at it. For some reason the Chinese have a huge liking to terrible movies, were it not for them T:AOE would have lost 30% of it's overall gross and The Hobbit would be on top.

I cant believe that they didn't nominate Jake Gyllenhaal for best actor after his performance in Nightcrawler. I though for sure he was gonna get the nomination.

I here am rooting for Richard Linklater to win Best Director, if not Best Original Screenplay for his work on the movie Boyhood. Even though that movie was almost a 3-hour sit through, that movie was amazing and well worth the ticket.

I'm rooting for my countrymen (and woman): http://oscar.go.com/nominees/short-film ... ingle-life

I'm surprised The Grand Budapest Hotel got the number of nominations it did. I thought Unbroken and/or Interstellar was going to lead the pack.

I was surprised by that, too. It's obvious he was attempting an Oscar grab for that role, but he actually deserved it. I don't know if he would have won being up against Michael Keaton and Benedict Cumberbatch, but I am surprised he wasn't nominated.



I've always loved Richard Linklater, but I'd hesitate to call 'Boyhood' one of his best. I mean, it was a good movie and a groundbreaking experiment, but it's not like it's changing the face of filmmaking as we know it. I do think the Academy should at least throw him a bone just so those 12 years won't be all for naught.



Of course, because 'Unbroken' is classic "Oscarbation", as I like to call it: films that are made specifically with the intention of winning Academy Awards. Usually their intentions are pretty shallow and the movie is pretty weak and weighted down by melodramatic cliches; I mean, 'The Theory of Everything' and 'The Imitation Game' also tackle predictably "Oscar-worthy" subjects, but 'Unbroken' was just poorly structured and badly directed.

It's really a shame, since I read the book 'Unbroken' was based on and it was really quite good. Louis Zampirini really deserved a better movie than one that's just barely better reviewed than 'Night at the Museum 3' on Rotten Tomatoes.

I agree. I liked Keaton in Jackie Brown as well. Robert Forster and Pam Grier got the attention that year. I wondered at the time why Michael did not get any love from the awards show. He has been in other awesome films as well I just wondered why people forget about Jackie Brown.
