The 2015 Academy Awards Nominations Are Here

This year’s Oscar nominations are official, and well, let’s just say that The LEGO Movie didn’t get a nomination for Animated Feature Film, and that’s pretty much all I have to say about these choices.

Also:

  • Christopher Nolan is never going to win an Oscar.
  • Everything Is Awesome really needs to win Best Original Song.
  • If Richard Linklater doesn’t win something for Boyhood, there is no justice in the world.
  • The fact that The Winter Soldier only got a VFX nomination and Guardians of the Galaxy got nothing is pretty much the worst.
  • I really hope Birdman wins Best Picture because that movie was just the best.
