There were few surprises this morning as the 86th Academy Awards nominations were announced by Chris Hemsworth and Cheryl Boone Isaacs. As expected, the films 12 Years a Slave and American Hustle had a major presence with nominations in the acting, directing and Best Picture categories, though if we were to choose one positive revelation it was Philomena also being named among the nine Best Picture contenders.

August, Osage County is really impressive, depressing, but impressive.

I've only seen a couple of the nominees. I did much better last year. But at least I've seen "American Hustle".

I saw American Hustle and while I liked it somewhat, to me it's not Best Picture material.

I saw 12 Years a Slave, American Hustle, Dallas Buyers Club, Her & The Wolf of Wall Street. None were very impressive.
