\"The-Grand-Budapest-Hotel\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Director Wes Anderson’s quirky tale of employees and murder at a European hotel between World Wars, The Grand Budapest Hotel<\/strong>, and Alejandro G. I\u00f1\u00e1rritu’s story of an actor looking for redemption on the stages of Broadway, Birdman (Or The Unexpected Virtue Of Ignorance)<\/strong>, were the frontrunners at this morning’s announcement of the nominees for this year’s Academy Awards.<\/p>\n

In addition to being nominated for Best Picture, Director and Original Screenplay, Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel also received nominations in various creative and technical categories including Best Original Score, Cinematography, Editing, Production Design, Makeup and Costuming. Conversely, Birdma<\/strong>n, while sharing the Best Director, Picture, Original Screenplay and Cinematography categories with Grand Budapest Hotel<\/strong> managed to score nominations in three of the four acting categories – Best Actor for Michael Keaton, Best Supporting Actor for Ed Norton and Best Supporting Actress for Emma Stone – as well as nods for Best Sound Editing and Sound Mixing.<\/p>\n

The number of nominations for Grand Budapest Hotel<\/strong> comes as a bit of a surprise as the film was released last spring, well outside the usual end of the year “Oscar Season” which lead many awards prognosticators to fear that the film might be forgotten come nomination time.<\/p>\n

Both Grand Budapest Hotel<\/strong> and Birdman<\/strong> have been heavily touted in a number of year’s end “Best Of” lists from critics groups as well as at various awards ceremonies already.<\/p>\n

Following closely behind in the nominations count is The Imitation Game<\/strong>, the story of how the attempt to break Nazi encrypted coded messages during World War Two lead to the invention of the modern computer. The film scored eight nominations including Best Picture, Best Director for Morten Tyldum, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor for Benedict Cumberbatch and Best Original Score.<\/p>\n

Composer Alexandre Desplat landed a rare double nomination in the Best Original Score category for his work on both The Imitation Game<\/strong> and Grand Budapest Hotel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Other nominees in the Best Actor category include Steve Carell for Foxcatcher<\/strong>, Bradley Cooper for American Sniper<\/strong> and Eddie Redmayne for The Theory of Everything<\/strong>. Bradley Cooper’s nomination marks the third year in a row that the actor has been under consideration for Academy Award gold.<\/p>\n
