Here are the Academy Award nominations for 2015. Plenty of interesting choices and (as always) many bizarre exclusions, including the absence of critical hits Nightcrawler<\/em> and the Swedish film Force Majeure<\/em>. While Selma<\/em> received a Best Picture and Song nom, it garnered no acting or crew nods. And The Lego Movie<\/em> failed to appear in the Best Animated Film list. Interestingly, there were only 8 Best Picture nominees (instead of the usual 9) as well. <\/p>\n

On a positive note, at least quirky effort The Grand Budapest Hotel<\/em> received plenty of love from the Academy. Below is the complete list.<\/p>\n
