Oscars 2014 Nominations
The Oscar nominations are in and it is exactly what everybody has expected: Both American Hustle and Gravity lead the list with ten nominations each, while 12 Years a Slave scored nine nominations. However, it was surprising that Oprah Winfrey didn’t score a nomination for her supporting role in 12 Years a Slave.
The Egyptian documentary The Square also earned a nomination for Best Documentary movie – the first time for an Egyptian movie to be nominated in this category and only the second time ever for an Egyptian film to be nominated for an Oscar.
