Here are the Oscar nominations. La La Land tied Titanic’s record with 14 nominations and I’m going to predict right now that it’ll win nearly everything that it’s been nominated for. Amy Adams was totally snubbed. Meryl Streep was technically nominated for Florence Foster Jenkins but we all know it was actually for her Golden Globes speech.
I may have more to say about this later but until then, here are the noms:

The Visual Effect Society announced their nominees today. Now, there were quite a few categories and a lot of nominations and they’re actually kinda interesting to look at but, in the interest of space, I’m not going to post all of the nominees. Instead, I’m going to post the three main categories because these are the categories that could potentially give some guidance as far as predicting the Oscar nominations is concerned.
If you want to see a full list of nominations, please click here and check out this list on AwardsCircuit.
Looking over the nominations, what’s interesting is that Arrival, the most acclaimed Sci-Fi film of the year, was totally and completely snubbed. I don’t know if that’s a bad sign or not. Arrival is a great sci-fi film and it features some great visual effects. But — and this is especially true when compared to films like Rogue One and Dr. Strange — the visuals are also rather low-key. Arrival is not a splashy film. That’s one reason why it’s also a great film.
Anyway, here are the nominations!

The Academy really should give out an Oscar for Best Casting. But until they do, we’ll just have to be happy with the annual nominations from the Casting Society of America!
Here are the 2016 nominations. (It’s interesting to note that this is the third guild to nominate Deadpool. How many heads would explode is Deadpool somehow landed a best picture nomination? That probably won’t happen but the wild speculation is the best part of Oscar season!)
