The entire list of nominees for this year’s 88th Annual Academy Awards has been revealed with The Revenant leading the pack at 12 and Mad Max: Fury Road with 10. Chris Rock will host the ceremonies when it airs live at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre on February 28th.
I was a little shocked when Star Wars: The Force Awakens didn’t nab any Golden Globe recognition but had assumed it was because they didn’t send out any screeners to the press. With a movie as beloved and financially successful as the latest Star Wars has been, it’s a letdown to see it only pick up three nods. You can guess which three they are since they’re the same spots reserved for typical summer blockbuster schlock. Traitors….
