Ethan Hawke, “Boyhood'”
Edward Norton, “Birdman'”
Mark Ruffalo, “Foxcatcher'”

Actress during a Supporting Role
Patricia Arquette, “Boyhood'”
Laura Dern, “Wild'”
Emma Stone, “Birdman'”
Keira Knightley, “The Imitation Game'”
Meryl Streep, “Into the Woods'”

Alejandro González Iñárritu, “Birdman'”
Richard Linklater, “Boyhood'”
Bennett Miller, “Foxcatcher'”
Wes Anderson, “The Grand Budapest Hotel'”
Morten Tyldum, “The Imitation Game'”

“The Boxtrolls'”

“Song of the Ocean'”
“The Tale of the Princess Kaguya'”

Cinematography
Emmanuel Lubezki, “Birdman'”
Robert D. Yeoman, “The Grand Budapest Hotel'”
Lukasz Zal and Ryszard Lynzewski, “Ida'”
Dick Pope, “Mr. Turner'”
Roger Deakins, “Unbroken'”
Immediate reaction: Aside from sound editing and sound mixing, this was the sole nomination for “Unbroken,'” which will have a powerful time overcoming stiff competition from “Birdman'” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel.'” It’’s attention-grabbing that “Mr. Turner'” got therefore many nominations, though not the one some expected — Timothy Spall for best actor. It’’s additionally fascinating to work out a distant film in the combination with the black-and-white “Ida.'”

Costume Style
Milena Canonero, “The Grand Budapest Hotel'”
Mark Bridges, “Inherent Vice'”
Colleen Atwood, “Into the Woods'”
Anna B. Sheppard, “Maleficent'”
Jacqueline Durran, “Mr. Turner'”

“Citizenfour'”
“Last Days in Vietnam'”
“Virunga'”
“The Salt of the Earth'”
“Finding Vivian Maier'”

87th Oscar 2015 Live

Documentary Short Subject
“Crisis Hotline: Veterans Press one'”
“Joanna'”
“Our Curse'”
“The Reaper'”
“White Earth'”

Film Editing
Joel Cox and Gary Roach, “American Sniper'”
Sandra Adair, “Boyhood'”
Barney Pilling, “The Grand Budapest Hotel'”
William Goldenberg, “The Imitation Game'”
Tom Cross, “Whiplash'”
Immediate reaction: Most of “Birdman'” looked like it was filmed in one long take. It wasn’’t; that was the magic of good cuts and sensible editing, but that magic (by editors Douglas Crise and Stephen Mirrione) wasn't recognized by the academy. Instead, “Boyhood'” leads the charge with Sandra Adair nominated for piecing along a story that was shot over 12 years.

Foreign Language Film
“Ida'”
“Leviathan'”
“Tangerines'”
“Wild Tales'”
“Timbuktu'”
Immediate reaction: It’’s sad to work out no mention of “Force Majeure'” on this list, though these are worthy contenders. The Russian film “Leviathan'” took home the Golden Globe on Sunday, however the Polish drama “Ida'” incorporates a smart shot at the Oscar, with a Nineteen Sixties-era story of an aspiring nun who finds out her family was Jewish.

Makeup and Hairstyling
Bill Corso and Dennis Liddiard, “Foxcatcher'”
Frances Hannon and Mark Coulier, “The Grand Budapest Hotel'”
Elizabeth Yianni-Georgiou and David White, “Guardians of the Galaxy'”
Immediate reaction: Will or not it's Steve Carell’’s prosthetic nose in “Foxcatcher'” or an unrecognizable Tilda Swinton underneath an aged face in “The Grand Budapest Hotel'”? Those jobs appear somewhat less onerous than covering Dave Bautista’’s several muscles in inexperienced and red to rework him into Drax in “Guardians of the Galaxy.'”

Music – Original Score
Alexandre Desplat, “The Grand Budapest Hotel'”
Alexandre Desplat, “The Imitation Game'”
Hans Zimmer, “Interstellar'”
Gary Yershon, “Mr Turner'”
Jóhann Jóhannsson, “The Theory of Everything'”
Immediate reaction: Lots of love for the prolific Desplat, who could are nominated for 3 movies (he conjointly did nice work on “Unbroken'”). Jóhannsson won the Globe on Sunday for his work on “The Theory of Everything,'” though Zimmer definitely has a shot for his impossible-to-miss music in “Interstellar.'” Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross had an attempt at creating the list for “Gone Girl,'” but “Mr. Turner'” popped up instead.

Music – Original Song
“Everything Is Awesome'” by Shawn Patterson, “The LEGO Movie'”
“Glory'” by Common and John Legend, “Selma'”
“Grateful'” by Diane Warren, “Beyond the Lights'”
“I’’m Not Gonna Miss You'” by Glen Campbell and Julian Raymond, “Glen Campbell: I’’ll Be Me'”
“Lost Stars'” by Gregg Alexander and Danielle Brisebois, “Begin Once more'”

This was one among 2 nominations for “Guardians of the Galaxy,'” the most important moneymaker of 2014, which also happened to be well liked by critics. “Transformers'” had a rough week. This was the sole real Oscar hope for the fourth installment of “Transformers,'” and also the movie led the Razzie nominations, which were announced earlier on.

Writing – Adapted Screenplay
Jason Hall, “American Sniper'”
Graham Moore, “The Imitation Game'”
Paul Thomas Anderson, “Inherent Vice'”
Anthony McCarten, “The Theory of Everything'”
Damien Chazelle, “Whiplash'”
Immediate reaction: “The Imitation Game'” and “The Theory of Everything'” were positive to create the list, and “Whiplash'” definitely deserves a spot. “Inherent Vice'” was additional of a wild card, with Paul Thomas Anderson’’s occasionally (and intentionally) nonsensical adaptation of a loopy Thomas Pynchon novel.

Writing – Original Screenplay
Alejandro González Iñárritu, Nicolás Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris and Armando Bo, “Birdman'”
Richard Linklater, “Boyhood'”
E. Max Frye and Dan Futterman, “Foxcatcher'”
Wes Anderson and Hugo Guinness, “The Grand Budapest Hotel'”
Dan Gilroy, “Nightcrawler'”
Immediate reaction: “Boyhood'” and “Birdman'” were locks, and therefore the latter just won the Golden Globe. This appeared like a good place for “A Most Violent Year'” to land with J.C. Chandor’’s clever subversion of “Godfather'”-vogue crime dramas. Instead, Dan Gilroy’’s creepy “Nightcrawler'” made the list.87th Academy Awards, 87th Academy Awards Complete List of Nominees, 87th Academy Awards Nominees List, 87th Oscar, 87th Oscar Awards Live Stream, 87th Oscar Live, Academy Awards 2015 Live Stream, Academy Awards Live, Academy Awards Live Stream, Oscar, Oscar 2015 nominations, Oscar Awards Live Stream, Oscar Nominees List,
