2013 Oscar Nominations Announced

84th Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals

It’s that time of year when everyone in Hollywood gets together to hand out their most prestigious award, The Oscar. That’s right the 2013 Academy Awards. It’s also the same time of year when everyone else in America says “I’ve never heard of that movie.” The Oscar beast has evolved over the years and now mostly the movies that are nominated are smaller and usually feature a cast of unknowns. I had the privilege this year of seeing most of them and I am now proud to present this years, or technically last years? I don’t know. Anyway, here are the nominees.
