OSCAR nominations were revealed overnight with a few snubs and surprises.
It was not such a great night for Naomi Watts, Sia Furler, The Lego Movie and some of Australia’s other top hopes, with sound mixer David Lee one of only two Aussies among with nominees. He received a nod for his work on Angelina Jolie’s film Unbroken.
Effects whiz Tim Crosbie was nominated in the best visual effects category. He was part of a team of 50 based at Adelaide’s Rising Sun Pictures who worked for six months on a 90 second sequence in X Men: Days of Future Past.
The biggest surprise was Australian film editor Kirk Baxter who was in the hunt for his third Oscar win of his career for Gone Girl, but was snubbed.
The same for two Wollongong surfer mates, Al Hicks and Adam Hart, who had their hopes dashed that their documentary feature Keep on Keepin’ On about 94-year-old US jazz legend Clark Terry would get a nod.
Not in the mix ... Naomi Watts, right, in a scene from St Vincent with Melissa McCarthy and Jaeden Lieberher was overlooked during the Oscar nominations. Picture: Supplied Source: Supplied
Watts was a longshot for a supporting actress Oscar nomination for two films, Birdman and St Vincent, and the odds proved correct.
Furler was in the running in the original song category for Opportunity, a song she wrote for the new Annie musical, but she didn’t have her name called out.
Another major shock was The Lego Movie, made by Sydney animation and visual effects company Animal Logic. It failed to get nominated for best animated feature.
The Grand Budapest Hotel and Birdman received the most nominations with nine nominations a piece.

The surprises came mostly however in the female categories.
Marion Cotillard received a nomination for Best Actress for her role in Two Days, One Night despite being shut-out of the Golden Globe nominations.
Her inclusion was at the expense of Jennifer Aniston in Cake and Amy Adams, who won a Best Actress Golden Globe for her role in Big Eyes. Brad Pitt’s second wife, Angelina Jolie, was also overlooked for directing the film Unbroken.

Laura Dern pulled off an upset in the Best Supporting Actress category by garnering a nomination for Wild, alongside fellow nominee Reese Witherspoon.

— Reese Witherspoon (@RWitherspoon) January 15, 2015 Her nod came ahead of Jessica Chastain for A Most Violent Year.

Oscars darling Bradley Cooper received his third nomination in as many years for American Sniper despite not receiving any love at the Golden Globes. David Oyelowo however was shut-out of that category for his role in Selma.

The nominations announcement started trending on Twitter but not with a list of snubs and surprises but with the hashtag “Dick Poop”.
Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs accidentally referred to cinematographer Richard Pope as “Dick Poop” while announcing his nomination for his work on the period drama Mr Turner.
Ms Boone Isaacs quickly corrected herself after the mistake, but struggled to remain composed as she continued announcing this year’s nominations.
And for Richard Pope, today is the day he inevitably relives the worst four years of his high-school life. #DickPoop

— Toby Earle (@TobyonTV) January 15, 2015 Best thing about Dick Poop is all the complicated names she says beforehand with reasonable accuracy...
— Jon Massey (@Tenshi3) January 15, 2015 Mark Ruffalo’s movie Foxcatcher, Jake Gyllenhaal’s Nightcrawler and Ben Affleck’s Gone Girl missed out on Best Picture nominations.
