The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominees in all 24 categories of the 2015 Oscars on 15th Jan.2015. A handful of films have a big presence on this list – in fact, just about every best picture nominee but Selma shows up in quite a few other categories. On the other hand, one of the year’s most acclaimed films, Foxcatcher, receives a number of nominations but misses best picture.
There are a handful of other notable nominations (or lack thereof) here. While the incredibly charming Lego Movie isn’t on the best animated film list, its incredibly addictive title song does get a nod. Disney’s animated Marvel superhero film, Big Hero 6, makes it onto the animation list, as does Studio Ghibli’s gorgeous Princess Kaguya. Netflix is represented on the list again, too, with Virunga in the documentary category. Laura Poitras’ documentary on Citizenfour, Snowden is also recognized. Finally, you’ll notice that while Interstellar shows up in a few different categories, it and Christopher Nolan miss all the big ones.
