Here Are The Nominees For The 2016 Academy Awards!

Briefly: The day is finally here!

Yesterday, we saw the Fantastic Four-filled nominations for the 36th annual Razzie Awards, which celebrates the very worst in cinema each and every year.

Which can only mean that this morning the Academy Award nominations were revealed. While the big categories feature many of the same films as we saw last week at the Golden Globes, it’s great to see some of the features that were sorely missed from last week’s ceremony get a few nods here. Both Straight Outta Compton and Star Wars: The Force Awakens received nominations, the latter even included in the (well deserved) Best Visual Effects category.

Of course, we’re all mainly looking to see if Leo can finally, finally bring home an Oscar, aren’t we?
