The Grand-Budapest Hotel | Oscar

And the winner is….well, we won’t know that for a fair few weeks yet but the 2015 Oscar nominations are in! Woo! All is pretty much as expected, with the big surprise being District 9 in the best picture category. Not that it will win, but it’s nice to see it get some acknowledgement anyway.

What isn’t nice is the bullshit exclusion of Moon in every freakin category! At the very least Sam Rockwell should have got a best lead actor nod and Duncan Jones a best original screenplay nomination. What. A. Joke. Other atrocities this year include Abbie Cornish missing out on a best actress nod and the movies robbed of an Academy high-five include Moon, Bright Star, Let The Right One In, Moon, Samson and Delilah, Moon and Nowhere Boy. Sigh.

Moving on, a very chipper Anne Hathaway read the Oscar nominations this morning and here is the full list. I’ve highlighted the winners I think deserve the shiny gold man, all things being true and fair in the world. Oh, but wait, they’re not *insert can kicking here*.
