An interesting batch of nominees that sticks close to Oscars’ nominations list, but strikes out in some unique and interesting directions. The biggest take away is that the OFTA does not appear to be enamored with The Theory of Everything, but definitely supports Nightcrawler, A Most Violent Year and Selma more so than does the Academy.

(8) Gone Girl
