鈥楬ustle,鈥 鈥楪ravity鈥 lead Oscar race
Print Edition
The con-artist comedy “American Hustle” and the 3D space odyssey “Gravity” lead the Academy Awards with 10 nominations each, with the historical epic “12 Years a Slave” trailing closely with nine nominations.
The nominations unveiled yesterday set up a race between three very different films, all of which were nominated for best picture. The 86th annual Academy Awards will take place on March 2.
Nine films were nominated for best picture. The other nominees are “Captain Phillips,” ‘’Dallas Buyers Club,” ‘’Her,” ‘’Nebraska,” ‘’The Wolf of Wall Street” and “Philomena.”
The most notable omission for a nomination was Tom Hanks for his lead performance in “Captain Phillips.” Hanks is widely beloved by the academy, having been nominated five times previously, winning for “Forest Gump” and “Philadelphia.”
Robert Redford, expected by many to be nominated for the shipwreck drama “All Is Lost,” also missed out on a best actor nod. He has never won an acting Oscar.
The best actor nominees are British-born Chiwetel Ejiofor (“12 Years a Slave”), Bruce Dern (“Nebraska”), Leonardo DiCaprio (“The Wolf of Wall Street”), Matthew McConaughey (“Dallas Buyers Club”) and Christian Bale (“American Hustle”).
Disney’s “Mary Poppins” tale “Saving Mr Banks” also failed to land either a best picture nomination or a best actress nod for Emma Thompson.
The best actress nominees are Amy Adams (“American Hustle”), Australian-born Cate Blanchett (“Blue Jasmine”), Sandra Bullock (“Gravity”), British-born Judi Dench (“Philomena”) and Meryl Streep (“August: Osage County”).
Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street,” a nearly three-hour Wall Street extravaganza of money, sex and drugs, landed big nominations: best picture, best actor (DiCaprio), best director (Scorsese, his eighth for directing) and best supporting actor (Jonah Hill).
Also doing well were Spike Jonze’s futuristic romance “Her” (five nominations) and Alexander Payne’s black-and-white road trip “Nebraska” (six nominations, including best director for Payne).
Meanwhile, acclaimed Chinese director Wong Kar Wai’s ode to kung fu, “The Grandmaster,” was nominated for best costumes and best cinematography, though it missed out on the best foreign language film nomination.
