Jennifer Aniston and 9 Surprising 2015 Oscar snubs: See all the nominees

Say it ain’t so!

Our favorite girl next door was snubbed for an Oscar for her role in the movie Cake, the gut-wrenching, makeup-less role in which she plays a woman battling some pretty raw and visceral situations, and quite frankly, it looks like the performance of a lifetime. It seems both depressing and uplifting, and how could she not get a nomination for it?

But the most notable Oscar snub would have to be Selma. What is critics’ deal with Selma? I understand they didn’t have the rights to Dr. King’s speeches, but geez. David Oyelowo did not receive a Best Actor nod and amazing and crazy talented Ava DuVernay didn’t receive a nomination for Best Director. I just don’t understand.

Other prominent snubs include the omission of Clint Eastwood for Best Director for American Sniper, Jessica Chastain for Best Supporting Actress in A Most Violent Year, Lorde and Lana Del Rey were left off the list of Best Song for their tunes in Big Eyes and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1, respectively. David Fincher wasn’t nominated for Gone Girl, and how on earth was The Lego Movie not nominated for Best Animated Feature?

Omgosh.

But there were some pretty amazing films, actors and actresses grabbing up top numbers of nominations. The Grand Budapest Hotel and Birdman led the movie pack with nine nominations each. The Imitation Game nabbed eight nods while Meryl Streep earned her 19th nomination and Bradley Cooper his third consecutive one.

I guess now we will have to go see Birdman?
