2014 Oscars Nomination: Twitter Reactions and More!
The Academy Awards nominations are in and so begin the betting and Twitter reactions about the Oscars controversial nominees. For this year's Best Picture, the Academy Awards have a record of nine films: "Gravity," "Her," "Dallas Buyers Club," "12 Years a Slave," "Philomena," "Nebraska," "American Hustle," "Captain Philips" and "The Wolf of Wall Street."
Film lovers around the globe have taken to Twitter to express their opinions about the news. Team Leo seems to be dominating with a lot of love from Twitter fans for his Best Actor nomination.
"American Hustle" and "Gravity" are the two films dominating the race for the Oscars with 10 nominations each. Steve McQueen's "12 Years a Slave" got nine nods including Best Director.
Notable names like Robert Redford, Emma Thompson, Tom Hanks and talk show mogul Oprah Winfrey are not even nominated for this year's award. Lee Daniel's "The Butler" was shut out of the Oscar race, the reason why the talk host wasn't nominated. But Oprah still has a shot for the Best Actress spot for this weekend's SAG awards.
Here are some Twitter reactions for the 2014 Oscar nominees:
Aaron Fullerton @AaronFullerton - "Jonah Hill and Christian Bale now have the same number of Oscar nominations. That seems about-- *world stops turning.*"
Jennifer Lawrence @JenniferUpdates - "Jennifer Lawrence is the youngest actress to be nominated for 3 Academy Awards at the age of 23 #Oscars"
Philip Concannon @Phil_on_Film - "Two-time Oscar nominee Jonah Hill! Who would have thought it? #Oscars"
Mia Zapanta @miazapanta - "I'm just gonna say it: Jennifer Lawrence is the Meryl Streep of my generation. Maybe even more than that? (Is anyone actually denying this?)"
TAFFIN @Leeh_nostromo - Gravity getting a best film nod over Before midnight or Frances Ha is comical.
Camilla Long @camillalong - "The biggest most horrifying scandal about ALL of this is that there's nothing for Inside Llewyn Davies #oscars"
Matthew Turner - @FilmFan1971 - "I wouldn't like to be in Oprah Winfrey's house right about now. Or Idris Elba's. #OscarNoms #Snubs"
Rotten Tomatoes @RottenTomatoes - "Biggest surprises from this morning's Oscar Noms? We were surprised to see nothing for Oprah, Redford or Hanks."
Dave Karger @davekarger - "Worst #Oscar showings by once promising films: Saving Mr. Banks (1 nomination, for Best Score) and The Butler (goose egg)."
Variety @Variety - "Robert Redford on why 'All is Lost' got snubbed this year: 'We had no campaign.' on.variety.com/LmqgSr"
