Both Laura Dern and Reese Witherspoon earned acting nominations (for Best Supporting and Best Actress) for their performances in Wild, while Rosamund Pike will also compete for Best Actress for playing the scheming Amy in Gone Girl. Meryl Streep, unsurprisingly, will get the chance to add yet another little gold man to her trophy shelf after being nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Into the Woods.

While Selma earned spots for Best Picture and Best Original Song (Common and John Legends Glory) the films director Ava DuVernay did not make the cut, nor did David Oyelowo for his portrayal of Martin Luther King, Jr. Another notable absence was the highly laudedThe Lego Moviein the Best Animated Film category.
