Awards season officially kicked into high gear Thursday
morning, when the long-awaited big reveal of this year's Oscar nominees.
The 86th annual Academy Award's nominations were announced
on January 16th , and as usual there were well deserving nominees and of course
some snubs. The top nominees this year were Gravity, American Hustle and 12
Years of Slave. Actors Leonardo Dicaprio, Christian Bale, Bruce Dern, Chiwetel
Ejiofor, and Matthew McConaughey all got nominated as expected, but one actor
on the other hand got snubbed, and that was Tom Hanks. His role as
"Captain Phillips" was very much deserving of a nomination as well as
his movie "Saving Mr. Banks," which many thought would get nominated
for "Best Film." The leading ladies this year were Sandra Bullock,
Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, American Cate Blanchett, and Julia Roberts, while the
lady who got snubbed was Oprah Winfrey for her role in Lee Daniel's "The
Butler." Being that The Academy is full of narrow minded people, snubs like
these were expected. Surprisingly this year there were more hits than misses.
The 86th annual Academy Awards, hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, will take place on
Sunday, March, 2nd. Tune in to see which actors and actresses take home the
gold!
