The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced its 2015 Oscar nominations January 15th. For Best Picture, the academy can nominate up to 10 movies, but stopped short with eight this year, leaving out “Into the Woods,” “Foxcatcher,” and “Unbroken.” Most of the eight are expected; “Birdman,” “Boyhood,” “Selma,” and the big Academy-oriented British biopics, “The Theory of Everything” and “The Imitation Game.” “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” which won a best picture award at the Golden Globes, is tied with “Birdman” for most nominations with nine apiece. The awards ceremony will be held on Sunday, February 22nd with Neil Patrick Harris as host.
Although “Selma” received a nomination for best picture, it was snubbed for best actor and best director. If director Ava DuVernay had been nominated, it would have marked the first nomination for a black female director. Thsi year’s nominations included no black actors/filmmakers and no female filmmakers nominated for directing or screenplay.
