Last year at the movies we saw a boy age 12 years in just two-and-a-half hours, the degradation of a former superhero superstar and Martin Luther King's fight for equal voting rights for African Americans. With that kind of range, it's going to be difficult to narrow it down to the very best of the year, but somehow we did it.
The 2015 Oscar nominations were announced this morning by Alfonso Cuaron, J.J. Abrams, Chris Pine and President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Cheryl Boone Isaacs at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
