I'm glad it was snubbed, why are this generation of filmmakers all so self-satisfied? I'm not crazy about Nolan but at least he's fairly self-deprecating, some of these other guys are so entitled.

[Cmasterclay]

I can't even comprehend how a human being can watch both Selma and the Imitation Game and find Tyldum and CUmberbatch more deserving of praise than DuVernay and Oyewolo. Unbelievable. I know taste is subjective and all that shit, but honestly, you must don't have any real understanding of the art of film, directing, or acting to truly believe that those two made better artistic contributions than the Selma two. Unless there's a prejudice about skin color going on, which I don't wanna get into in this topic. 

But regardless of that, fuck yea, Whiplash!!!

[Aplandg]

Kinda want Dick Poop to win...

[75Live]

I understand Blank's meltdown.  I agree with him, but I will let him do the melting part

[CJohn]

It is Dick Pope, not Poop.

[CoolioD1]

He's the Adele Dazeem of this year, so yeah, he should win.

Well, it was the most well-received from audience and critics, and highest-grossing, animated film of 2014. It should at least have been nominated.

It is Dick Poop. not Pope.

FIFY

I confess, I find LEGO's snub hilarious.

 

I find it rather shocking but I can't say I'm upset about it - I thought it was kind of average.

 

Hopefully this paves the way for a deserved win for the magnificent Princess Kaguya to win but I'm not holding my breath.

 

• I'm disappointed but not surprised that Snowpiercer didn't get it's much deserved Production Design nod. Hacks.
• The Selma fuck up by Paramount is embarrassing but I guess those who watched it really loved it enough to slip in to the top 8 for BP
• Foxcatcher good enough for top 5 in director but not top 10 in BP.  Odd.
• Best Supporting Actress category kind of sucks except for Arquette. No Tilda and especially no Agata.  BOO!
• GPH is considered great enough for BP and Director but the performance that drove the entire film and made it work is snubbed and for Cooper [a now three time Oscar nominee - the mind boggles, the soul recoils]

[ladyevenstar22]

took me a while to do this couldnt find a meme i wanted so made my own pfff

 

[Alpha]

Well, it looks like A Most Violent Year's box office run is dead.

[Jandrew]

This Oscars sucks ass. Not interesting, and the GG snubs are pitiful. How did it get no nom for screenplay? If youre excited for this well good for you, but I wont be counting down to this ceremony.

[ecstasy]

LOL @ the pissed off people.

[rockNrollaDIM]

My biggest takeaway from the nominations is that Cheryl Boone Isaacs needs elocution lessons. Seriously how hard is it to say Linklater?

Also, Emma Stone is now "Academy Award Nominated actress, Emma Stone" - how cool is that?
