American Hustle & Gravity Lead The Oscars Nominations, With LGBT Nods Pretty Thin On The Ground

American Hustle

Due to the Winter Olympics, the Oscars are a little later than they have been for the past couple of years, but now the competition is in full swing, with the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announcing the nominations for this year’s gongs.

It’s a bit of a three way race, with American Hustle and Gravity leading the way with ten nominations apiece, while 12 Years a Slave is just behind with nine. Although Hustle and 12 Years are seen by many as the frontrunners for Best Picture, Gravity certainly shouldn’t ruled out.

Hustle also becomes only the 15th film to get nominations in all the acting categories – for Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence – just a year after director David O. Russell did exactly the same with The Silver Linings Playbook. No movie has ever taken all of the acting Oscars, and it would be a surprise if American Hustle changed that.

Unfortunately there aren’t too many LGBT-interest noms. That said, Dallas Buyers Club did pretty well, with nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor (Matthew McConaughey), Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing and Best Makeup. Jared Leto is also by far the frontrunner in the Best Supporting Actor race, for his role as a transgender character in the movie.

The Lesbian-themed Blue Is The Warmest Color was a surprise snub in the Best Foreign Language film category. However Philomena, which includes a gay-themed subplot, scored four nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress (Judi Dench), Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Score.

Take a look below for the full list of Oscar noms:
