And the OSCAR Nominations Go To – Not THE BUTLER, Others Missed

In the early morning of Thursday, January 16, 2013, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) himself along with the new Academy President, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, made the announcements of which films, actors, and movie-makers would be recognized for the highest movie honor with the hopes of possibly having the fortune of taking one of those golden statuettes home with them on Oscar night – March 2, 2014.

The best news has been that The Academy has pushed back the date of the Oscars ceremony to March which was the awards show’s traditional month from years long ago, in contrast to more recent years when the awards occurred in February. Every year, The Academy nominations bring some unexpected twists, along with the expected ones. This year was no different. Some movies that should have been nominated were not, and some that were expected to be nominated were.

Movies that were missed: Lee Daniels The Butler, Inside Llewyn Davis, Saving Mr. Banks. Some surprise nominations included: Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, Blue Jasmine, Before Midnight, The Wolf of Wall Street,and The Hustle. Some actor exclusions include: Tom Hanks, Oprah Winfrey, Joaquin Phoenix, Robert Redford, Forest Whitaker.
