2014 Oscar Nominations Are In, ‘American Hustle’ and ‘Gravity’ Lead The Way

Now that the Golden Globes have officially ended, it’s time to direct our attention to the biggest award show in Hollywood. The 86th annual Academy Awards will take place in less than two months, and the nominations were just announced.

American Hustle and Gravity have 10 nominations each, which means they have the potential to take home the most nominations this year. However, 12 Years A Slave isn’t too far behind with 9 nominations.

While there doesn’t appear to be any major “snubs” there are a few deserving people who are missing. Tom Hanks for his role in Captain Phillips and Oprah Winfrey for her role in Lee Daniels’ The Butler.
