The Oscars 2014: Nominations Announced!

The Golden Globes have already passed and this sometimes gives an indication to what’s going to happen in the OSCARS but it seems this could be one of those years where anything – or anyone – could win. At least, this is what we hope. Saying that, there’s not usually many surprises in this awards ceremony and it can occasionally fall towards awarding people for the sake of their status, rather than the actual talent.

Besides this slight criticism, I know I’ll be watching and still a little over-excited with the hope my favourites will win – But is yours in the nominations below? Let us know your predications because we’ll be getting ours together very shortly. And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for, those nominations in full:
