Unlike past years, the Academy has decided to reveal all of the shortlists simultaneously. Here is the press release.

On initial glance, there were no major embarrassments to be found. All of my predictions in Documentary Feature, Foreign Language Film, and Visual Effects made the short list. A few from my Original Song and Original Score selections did not, but there weren’t any incredibly notable snubs or omissions.

I will try to update my Hopefuls soon.
