The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has released this years Oscar nominations and they look a LOT like the Golden Globes. I think with the exception of a nod for Judy Dench (replacing Kate Winslet apparently) they're near identical.
Some notable snubs? Blackfish. It's the years most talked about documentary and it is an extremely important one that is actually having a social impact.
For acting? Brie Larson and Michael B. Jordan for their respective roles in Short Term 12 and Fruitvale Station. Both delivered such real and heartbreaking performances. It's a real shame they didn't get any recognition from the academy.
I'm a guy who loves award shows but this list of nominees just feels lazy to me. It's cookie cutter. Nothing shocking. The fact that it mirrors the Golden Globes is probably going to be hell on the ratings. Why watch if we're just going to see the same thing?
