The Oscars are coming up fast, and today we get the full list of nominees for all the Academy Award categories. We’ll be updated this LIVE as they announced the nominees. You can watch the video with us if you’re up early. Check out the list and share your thoughts in the comments below. Remember, our “picks” below are what we think will win, not necessarily what we want to win. BIRDMAN and BOYHOOD certainly show up a lot, which was to be expected, and we feel Michael Keaton and Julianne Moore are safe bets for the Best Actor and Best Actress Oscar. Don’t be surprised if BOYHOOD sweeps in most of its categories. A few surprises, such as THE LEGO MOVIE not getting nominated for Best Animated Film, Tim Burton’s BIG EYES was also overlooked in pretty much all categories, and the excellent Steve James documentary LIFE ITSELF about Roger Ebert was snubbed… that last one angers me most. Oh, and Jake Gyllenhaal got snubbed in the Best Actor category for NIGHTCRAWLER. Check out the nominees below and tell us if you agree or disagree.
