The Awards Circuit Community Awards were announced on this week’s episode of the Power Hour. Like in any other year, the readers yielded some eclectic choices. “12 Years a Slave” and “Her” led the nominations with eleven each with “Gravity” close behind with ten.
Leonardo DiCaprio moved forward to become the most nominated person in ACCA history, bringing in his 9th and 10th nomination as a Producer and Lead Actor in “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Amy Adams had a similar milestone, passing Kate Winslet, Julianne Moore, and Meryl Streep as the most nominated actress in ACCA history.
Some surprising omissions included David O. Russell’s “American Hustle” which pulled in four nominations but was left off of Best Picture and Director. There was also a shut out for John Wells’ “August: Osage County,” “The Spectacular Now,” and “Lone Survivor,” three films that had been predicted to be strong with the community.
The full list of nominees are below and the ballots open up once again tomorrow until Sunday @ 11:00 am Eastern Time. Following the Academy Awards on March 2, we will open up for ACCA 1998 where “Saving Private Ryan” was defeated by “Shakespeare in Love” at the Oscars. Will our readers think the same?
