This is literally the first year where I haven't seen any of the films or even heard of most of them. (Apart from the visual effects category) Nymphomaniac by Lars Von Trier should of been nominated, far better but the Oscars would never win it.

I love Meryl Streep, but did she really deserve a nomination for her performance in Into the Woods?

I'm kind of sad Ralph Fiennes didn't get a nomination for The Grand Budapest Hotel, but whatever.

Why wasn't Gone Girl nominated for best picture?

Well-made is subjective to the Academy, whose average member is (likely) a straight white male about 60 who is closed-minded to certain genres and themes (with some exceptions to this every know and then).

They do win Oscars, though? Captain America, Guardians of the Galaxy and X-Men were all nominated today. The technical achievements of these films are recognised all the time. They never (well, rarely) win any other category because 99% of the time, there is no artistic merit to be found, but when there is, it's rewarded appropriately (Heath Ledger, LotR).

Also, thisssss! Marion is not winning, but she so should. She was phenomenal in Two Days, One Night!

(although I am sad that her nomination came at the expense of Amy Adams and not Felicity )

I, too, am sorry that Ralph Fiennes didn't get nominated. He's really a joy to watch in that film.

I haven't even seen one movie last year. No wonder none of these films sound familiar. Didn't even see my country's nominated film.

I told myself that if Rosamund Pike gets nominated for Leading Actress I would be happy with whatever... but there really are so many surprising snubs that it's hard not to be a little disappointed with this year's nominations.

Still though; Yay Rosamund Pike! This is definitely (and finally) Julianne Moore's year, but I'm just very happy Pike is finally getting recognized for her craft.
