And the Nominees are...

So, it's the best time of year: Oscar season. This year has been a great year for movies. It's nice because the past few Oscars haven't been as exciting because the movies haven't really been that great. This is has made it exciting again. The nominations were announced this past Tuesday. There weren't very many surprises, and everyone who was nominated was deserving, for the most part.
