2015 Oscar Nominations Announced

2015 Oscar Nominations

The nominations for the 87th Academy Awards have been announced. The list includes some awards favorites like "Boyhood", "The Imitation Game", "Birdman" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel". The latter two lead the race with 9 nominations each. "Selma" was once again snubbed. While the drama managed to receive a Best Picture nod, it was left out of every other major category. The only other nomination the film received was for Best Original Song.

There was plenty of love, however, for Clint Eastwood's "American Sniper" which received 6 nominations including Best Picture and "The Imitation Game" which scored 8 nods including the major categories (Picture, Screenplay, Actor, Actress, Directing).

"The LEGO Movie" was also left out of the Best Animated Feature category, while "Big Hero 6", "The Boxtrolls" and "How to Train Your Dragon 2" made the cut alongside two surprises, the lesser known films "Song of the Sea" and "The Tale of Princess Kaguya".

The winners of the Academy Awards will be announced live when the ceremony airs on February 22nd (ABC). The show will be hosted by Neil Patrick Harris.

Read the complete list after the jump.
