Well its Oscar Nomination week so here are my picks for the movies that will get nominations for Best Picture

This week is Oscar nomination time so here are my picks for the movies I think that will get nominated  for the Oscar this year. The Oscar nominations are this Thursday morning at 5:30 Pacific time and 8:30 Eastern. The obvious picks are Boyhood,Birdman,Whiplash and Slema. These three movies have done great with the critics and and film goers alike. Boyhood has a 98% rating from the critics and 88% percent from the audience. Birdman has a 92% percent from critics and 86% percent from the audience. Whiplash has a 95% percent from critics and 96% from the audience. Selma has a 98% from the critics and 87% percent from the audience.

The second batch of films I think should or might get a Best Picture Oscar nomination are Interstellar,The Theory of Everything,The Imitation Game. Interstellar has a 72% percent from the critics and 86% percent from the audience. The Theory of Everything has 78% percent from the critics and 84% percent from the audience. The Imitation Game has a 90% percent from the critics and 95% percent from the audience.

My picks for probably will get a Oscar Nomination for Best Picture but not sure are Gone Girl,Foxcatcher and A Most Violent Year. Gone Girl has 89% percent form the critics and 89% percent from the audience. Foxcatcher has 87% from the critics and 75% percent from the audience. A Most Violent Year has 89% percent from the critics and 78% percent from the audience.

Some movies I think that are really good and will get a lot of buzz but won’t get Oscar Nominations for Best Picture are The Grand Budapest Hotel,American Sniper and Nightcrawler. The Grand Budapest Hotel has 92% percent from the critics and 78% percent from the audience. American Sniper has 74% from the critics and 99% from the audience. Nightcrawler has 95% from the critics and 87% from the audience.

These are my predictions for the Oscar nominations and the movies that won’t get nominated. Obviously I could be way off base but its fun to speculate. Whatever happens we will see on Thursday January 15th.
