The nominations for the 87th Academy Awards were announced in Hollywood this morning and, while there were plenty of familiar and worthy nods (Boyhood, Birdman, The Theory of Everything, The Imitation Game, Foxcatcher), there were a number of glaring—that’s the polite word for it—omissions, namely for women and filmmakers of color.
Behold, the best* of film in 2014.
The 87th Academy Awards ceremony airs February 22.
