Award show season is my favorite season!! Today, the Academy Award nominees were announced.   Below is the list of all of the categories. I think that the most notable snubs was Angelina Jolie's movie, Unbroken . I still think that there are way to many movies in the Best Picture category, it's a lot to keep track of.
