2014 Oscar Nominations

The 2014 Oscar Nominations came out today.  Here are my initial thoughts:

• Of course I was wishing for a miracle and that Short Term 12 would get some love.  It did not.
• The Butler was shut out again.
• I think Joaquin Phoenix should have been nominated for Her.
• Not a lot of love for Inside Llewyn Davis which was a critic favorite.
• There are no real surprises in major categories.  Maybe Sally Hawkins for Best Supporting Actress?
• A lot of the categories are really a close race:
• Best Actress: Amy Adams, Cate Blanchett, or Sandra Bullock?
• Best Actor: Leo vs Matthew
• Best Picture: American Hustle vs 12 Years vs Gravity vs Wolf of Wall Street
• Jackass gets a nomination for Makeup and Hairstyling!
• The Hunger Games Catching Fire does not get nominated for Makeup and Hairstyling or Costume Design which is a shame.
