Oscar Nominations 2015 - Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down, Weird Thumbs

Thumbs Up

• Julianne Moore, I would nominate you for the "Maps to the stars", too. I would give you an Oscar, even if you farted.
• Laura Dern in the best supporting actress category. Jessica Chastain and Rene Russo, feel free to cry.
• Marion Cotillard in the best actress category. Like it was supposed to be, duh.
• 2 nominations for Alexandre Desplat. That's more than fair.
• "Ida". No comments.
• "Whiplash", thank you for drumming.
• Benedict Cumberbatch for just being you.
• Wes Anderson, you deserve every single award.
• Wait... Richard Linklater, you deserve them too. So half-half?
• "The Tale of the Princess Kaguya". The Academy Awards love Japanese animated films.
• "Wild Tales" in the best foreign film category.
• "Lost stars" from "Begin Again" is actually a sign that some people appreciated this smart film.
• Dan Gilroy for the screenplay of "Nightcrawler". Smart choice for not nominating Jake Gyllenhaal.

Thumbs Down

• "Selma". The only film to be nominated in the best picture category, along with the best song category. Only.
• "Force Majeure" not being nominated in the best foreign film category. 
• "The Lego Movie" only being nominated for the song of the year, "Everything is awesome".
• Tilda Swinton not being nominated for any category this year ("Snowpiercer", "Only lovers left alive").
• Jake Gyllenhaal, where are you for the "Nightcrawler"?
• Bill Murray, you should be the winner.
• "Gone Girl", an epic fail. Gillian Flynn, you are still brilliant.
• "Pride" should be a major nominee.
• Nolan, may the force be with you. Shame on them.
• "Under the skin" by Jonathan Glazer. Epic Fail.
• I got my hopes up for Tom Hardy and "Locke". I get it though.
• I also got my hopes up for "Frank". That, I don't get it.

Weird Thumbs

• Bradley Cooper in the best actor category? Really? Nominated three years in a row for an Oscar?
• Ava DuVernay for "Selma". She could have written history, but she didn't. They didn't let that happen.
• Jennifer Aniston still cannot prove she is a good actress for "Cake".
• Amy Adams, next year is gonna be yours, no worries. Lana Del Rey, yours too. Tim Burton, yours... never, I guess.
• Emily Blunt, someday you will take what you deserve (maybe a nomination).
• "Everything is awesome" for best song is probably the biggest troll in the Oscar history.
• "American Sniper", the last-minute call. Who would have known?
• Paul Thomas Anderson's nomination in the adapted screenplay category for "Inherent Vice". Not bad, just weird.
