2015 Oscar Nominations: Big Surprises

Oscar 2015 nominations had its own surprises and snubs. While majority of the predictions we did on Oscar nominations for the major categories have turned true as some of the common names made it to the list.

However, we had snubs and surprises which is expected every year. For example, Jennifer Aniston had been garnering a lot of Oscar buzz for the Best Actress category. However, the Cake actress was completely snubbed this year with her movie, Cake getting nil nominations.

Talking about surprises, The Grand Budapest Hotel has grabbed majority of nominations with 9 nods. Similarly, Birdman too got 9 nods. However, Boyhood which has been winning ample awards this season did not rule the Oscar nominations chart. The coming-of-age movie has got 6 nominations along with American Sniper.

One of the biggest surprises was Best Actress nominations. No we are not talking about the omission of Jennifer Aniston but about Marion Cotillard. Marion for the second time got an Oscar nomination and that too for Best Actress again from a foreign language film. Hardly Foreign language films make it to such big categories especially acting, and Marion did it again by her performance in Two Days, One Night, a Belgian-Italian-French drama film which won her the Best Actress Oscar nomination yet again.

This is the second Oscar nomination for Marion who has already won one in the same category for La Vie En Rose, a French and Canadian biographical musical film about the life of French singer Édith Piaf.

Here are some of the big surprises from Oscar nominations 2015.
