Oscar Nominations

So the Oscar nominations were announced today not much of a big surprise after the Golden Globes as they tend to be similar nominations but getting an Oscar is way better than a Golden Globe. Its the best of the best and is the one i look forward to every year.

I think the 'major/big' awards are going to be battled out between American Hustle, 12 Years a Slave and Gravity, they are going to be big winners this year, but you never no, there could be a major upset. I think the Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto should win best Actor and Supporting Actor for the Dallas Buyers Club.

What i was surprised about is the lack of nominations for Mandela Long Walk to Freedom i would have thought there would have been one or two nominations for this especially for Idris Elba as well as Emma Thompson not getting a nod for Best Actress for Saving Mr Banks. But everybody is going to disagree on the nominations every year.
