The 2014 Oscar Nominations Have Been Announced, Do You Agree?

All this has happened before...

While last year’s Oscars certainly held its share of Geeky Moments, overall, we were pretty annoyed by it. But we’ve got Ellen DeGeneres hosting this year! And for that we’re thankful. Though she’s gonna have to pull out the stops to beat the tag-team that was Tina Fey and Amy Poehler at the Golden Globes. Without further ado, here are the nominations for the 2014 Academy Awards.

See anything wrong with this list? Share your thoughts in the comments! Personally, the fact that The Lone Ranger took a nomination for visual effects over Pacific Rim makes me want to jaeger-smash (Though the Visual Effects Society has announced their nominees for the 12th Annual VES Awards and they’re on that list.). And Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa got a nomination for makeup and hair but The Hobbit didn’t. I just… Oh, and obviously no women directors nominated.
