Here Are This Year's Gravity-Loving Oscar Nominations
Actor Chris Hemsworth and Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Cheryl Boone Isaacs woke up early Thursday morning to announce this year's Oscar nominations. But if you didn't set your alarm for 5:38 a.m. and 30 seconds PST to watch the incredibly boring live telecast, here's all you need to know: Tom Hanks and Oprah, both widely expected to receive acting nominations, were snubbed.
Not snubbed: Gravity and American Hustle, both earning 10 nominations apiece, followed by 12 Years a Slave with nine nominations.
The Oscar telecast, hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, will air on March 2 on ABC. Below is the full list of nominees. Now let's begin making predictions and complaining!
