Oscar nominations announced

The Academy of Motion Arts & Pictures announced their nominees for the 87th Annual Academy Awards this morning, with Birdman and The Grant Budapest Hotel leading the pack with nine nominations each.

The Lego Movie, widely considered a frontrunner for Best Animated Feature, was a surprise snub in that category, though it did receive a nomination for Best Original Song. Although Jennifer Anistan's performance in Cake and Jake Gyllenhaal's performance in Nightcrawler were receiving recent awards momentum, neither were nominated.

The awards will be telecast on Sunday, February 22, with Neil Patrick Harris hosting.
