It's here, it's here! One of the biggest nights in the award show season - and I'm still excited, despite one of the most severe instances of lack of diversity that I've seen since I started watching the show. HOWEVER, not having seen all the films in question, I can't put forward concrete opinions. All I can do is offer my opinion based on the trends I'm seeing from the other shows. I will be liveblogging, this post will be updated with winners!
The show airs February 22nd, 2015. (Tomorrow!) (Yes, I had to redo the blog post; the formatting got really weird and my other one also got buried.)

This was one of my locks - I KNEW it. But it is so deserved. AND THAT SPEECH! INCREDIBLE. Meryl Streep jumped out of her seat and I did too. Equality!

I have to say this was a surprise! I always figure Colleen Atwood, but I also really adore Colleen Atwood. I also find it interesting that we have a token male in this category, rather than a token female. I love women, and they run the world, but more men should feel like they can get into costume design too.

I kind of called this. It was a very Wes Anderson, fantastical set, and was a beautiful design. Though I haven't seen the other ones, besides Into the Woods.
I've also started a hashtag - it's probably too long to catch on, but I like to add it to the lesser known, lesser recognised categories like this. #thesecategoriesmattertoo

Well. I'm sad to see Gillian Flynn snubbed for Gone Girl, as well as David Fincher (though I seem to be somewhat alone in enjoying that film, from the amount of people I've talked to who HATED it). And apparently snubbing Ava DuVernay for Selma was a travesty, though I haven't yet had a chance to see Selma. And my timeline blew up when the nominations were announced with outrage over the lack of nominations for The LEGO Movie.
In the end, the nominations were generally what I expected, and I have some awards I'm expecting. (Julianne Moore and J.K. Simmons, for instance.)
I'm mostly really excited to see what Neil Patrick Harris has up his sleeve. Apparently he's got the writers of Frozen writing one of his musical numbers! (Thank goodness for his musical numbers.) Tomorrow's the big night, and I'm still excited!
