This is a really exciting day! Early Thursday morning Emma Stone and the show’s host Seth MacFarlane announced the 85th annual Academy Award nominees from the headquarters in Beverly Hills. Although we have to wait until Sunday, February 24th for the event (live on ABC), you can bet there will be lots of talk about hits, misses and who got snubbed until then. Be sure to leave your film favorites in the comments so I can start watching – here are some of the highlights below.
