As always, the Oscar nominations announced this morning brought many surprises, both delightful and disappointing. But let's focus on the positive: Michael Keaton earned his first nod, for Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), Laura Dern earned her second, for Wild, and there is a lot of love here for Boyhood, Whiplash, Mr. Turner, Ida and The Grand Budapest Hotel, the last of which ties with Birdman for most nominations.

It's also great to see some other favorites in the bunch, including nods for Nightcrawler, Citizenfour, the excellent documentary short White Earth and the civil rights drama Selma, which at least made an appearance among the eight Best Picture contenders. And the most exciting thing now is that it's still anyone's game for that top award, no certain front-runner in the pack. It's going to be an interesting night when the Oscars are handed out on February 22.
