That's not even an exaggeration. Oscar has to move the bags because I can't. I might as well get a flowing robe and big sunglasses now.

It would be hilarious -- and somehow appropriate -- if @SteveCarell won an Oscar before he won an Emmy.

Oscar Reax: Well it's a lock that Julianne Moore will win her first long-deserved Oscar given her competition. Finally.

Thanks, Oscar nominations. I needed something to be mad about that doesn't affect me in any way whatsoever.

Making progress--this year, instead of simply having not seen most of the Oscar nominees, I've also not even heard of many of them. o/

This year if you didn't get nominated for an Oscar you can ESPECIALLY blame in on racism and I'll take it!

The Oscar nominations certainly outdid themselves this morning in maintaining the status quo.

The Oscar noms are so boring they should just have the teacher from Peanuts announce them.

I know I have a weak grasp on Oscar nomination processes but WHY DO THEY CONTINUE TO SNUB PAUL BLART: MALL COP?!?

they should stop sending out oscar screeners. everyone should have to go out and SEE movies, actually get a sense of what's out there

J.K. Simmons on his nomination this morning, "An Oscar nomination. Wow. This is pretty darned cool..."

They should just hand over Laika an Oscar any time they deliver a feature, as far as I'm concerned.

I mean, it really was a great year for films but yes as I think about it that Oscar Snub of Ava for Best Director does sting.

Not a single person of color nominated... way to go Oscar. #fail

Shouldn't even be a discussion. The lego song SHOULD win the oscar.

Bit scared to look at the Oscar nominations in case I didn't get one.

It's 10 AM and Adam Levine was nominated for an Oscar this morning, so I already give up on everything!

All I'm saying is it would be nice to see Richard Linklater with a Best Director Oscar statuette in his hand. Because he deserves one.

Well done to the #Oscars2015 nominees! Great to see a few friends nominated for their Short Films: http://t.co/h2MoJvROKs

In an infinite number of infinite universes, I received every Oscar nomination in every category, and you people are REALLY pissed about it.

Pretty weak year of movies. Hopefully, Boyhood takes home a bunch of hardware. http://t.co/bNkZBzNe1H

Every year, it becomes less and less likely that I will see all the oscar movies between noms and awards.

In a sense, #Oscar nominees are snubbed from being on the list of #OscarSnubs. — David Wild (@Wildaboutmusic) January 15, 2015
8.19pm (IST): Jack Rico
I liked #AmericanSniper, didn't love it. I don't think it deserved its 6 Oscar nods. Cooper gave performance of his career, but it had flaws

Don't look directly at the Oscar acting nominations because they are blindingly white.

8.15pm (IST): Melisa Mariani
I don't have high hopes for Benedict to win, it's his first Oscar nom after all. I mean, Leo haven't won an Oscar until now.

8.13pm (IST): Mike Bracken
Oscar noms are predictable and mostly bland as usual. Happy for JK Simmons and Michael Keaton, though
— Mike Bracken (@horrorgeek) January 15, 2015
8.12pm (IST): Toby Young
Didn't think much of Eddie Redmayne's performance in Theory of Everything, but he deserves an Oscar for his gobsmacked-to-be-nominated act

Benedict Cumberbatch: "To ring my parents who are both actors and tell them that their only son has been nominated for an Oscar...
