The Academy is doing something radically different this year: announcing all 24 categories, instead of a small number of them. Broken into two presentations starting at 5:30a PT (8:30a ET, 7:30a CT) for the first eleven, then the remaining thirteen live for the morning shows eight minutes later.

That said, this list mostly follows conventional Oscar season narratives with the distinctions being Steve Carell got moved to supporting actor, British performers and productions still do disproportionately well (Paddington nominated for Best Adapted…

Precursor: 6th Make-Up Artists Guild Nominations (2014)
Proof there’s a lot of below-the-line support for Guardians of the Galaxy, which might help it’s Oscar Best Picture chances, the Makeup artists have tied it with Into the Woods for most nominations at this year’s makeup and hairstyling awards. The organization had given out awards early in the 2000’s, but had taken a break…

Precursor: 28th USC Scripter Nominations (2014)
With the Writers Guild of America increasingly stingy with its nominations (only to guild members and products made under a WGA contract), the precursor that seems best at predicting the Adapted Screenplay category at the Oscars is the USC Libraries and their annual Scripter Awards. Recognizing the screenwriter and the source material author, the Scripter…

Precursor: 17th Costume Designers Guild Nominations (2014)
Unlike the Art Directors Guild, the Costumers got behind a few more interesting picks. Selma finally makes it to the guild rounds. I can’t see any major omissions here, though Belle missing the list is a bit surprising. That’s the type of small period film this group usually goes for. Not a single one of…

Precursor: 67th Writers Guild Nominations (2014)
Knowing that half the major Oscar contenders weren’t even eligible for the WGA awards (not made under WGA-sanctioned contracts or by WGA members), it’s unsurprising to see something like Guardians of the Galaxy sneak into Best Adapted Screenplay when it has no hope at the Oscars.
