The Oscars are coming up fast, and today we received the full list of nominees for all the Academy Award categories. Some of you may have watched the video LIVE with us if you were up early – see the embed below.  This was how they read them off:

At 5:30 a.m. PT, Guillermo del Toro and Ang Lee will announce the nominees in the following categories: Animated Feature Film, Cinematography, Costume Design, Documentary Feature, Documentary Short Subject, Makeup and Hairstyling, Original Song, Animated Short Film, Live Action Short Film, Sound Editing and Sound Mixing.

At 5:38 a.m. PT, John Krasinski and Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs will take the stage to unveil the nominations for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Directing, Film Editing, Foreign Language Film, Original Score, Best Picture, Production Design, Visual Effects, Adapted Screenplay and Original Screenplay.

We’ve now posted the full list so you can check out that and share your thoughts in the comments below.  We’ve also noted our picks to win in green.  Remember, our “picks” are what we think will win, not necessarily what we want to win.  No surprised that both THE REVENANT and THE DANISH GIRL got a nomination in almost every category, and it was fun to see MAD MAX: FURY ROAD received a Best Picture nomination.  Anything you think got snubbed?  Anything that probably shouldn’t be on this list?  Let us know in the comments!
