Oscar Nominations 2015 List
The Academy Awards announced the complete list of the nominees for various categories on last Thursday. Some of the nominations have not gone down well with the fans since they left out blockbuster films like Interstellar from the best film nominations in spite of the fact that the jury picked eight films instead of five this time. The awards will be telecasted live on the 22nd of February, 2015 which will be the 87th Academy Awards. So, which are the movies that made it to the list and in what categories? Let’s find out.
