#OscarNoms - The Lego Movie Snubbed, Laura Dern, Nightcrawler Just Get In

The #OscarNoms aka nominations for the 87th Academy Awards has been released earlier today. Birdman and The Grand Budapest Hotel are the leaders with 9 nominations each followed by The Imitation Game with 8, Boyhood, 6, American Sniper, 6, Whiplash, 5, Interstellar, 5 and Foxcatcher, 5 nominations.

Selma is nominated for Best Picture and best Original Song, But David Oyelowo fails to make it for Best Actor like many expected. In the animated features which are my favorites, The Lego Movie was also snubbed. I also thought Nightcrawler would get more nominations. Oh well...
