The Academy Awards are not generally a major concern of ours here at Daily Grindhouse. We like to emphasize the movies we love, above all, without treating movies as competition. We’re really more of a petting zoo than a horse race. That said, this is all the film world is talking about today — that and Fangoria’s excellently-chosen Chainsaw Awards, also announced today — so as a service to our readers, below are the nominations that were announced this morning.

This list was compiled from articles on the New York Times and on IMDb. Thanks to them for the heavy lifting.
