A few days ago the 87th Academy Award nominees were announced. I've been watching the Oscars as far back as I could remember. My family would always take a night off from our annual spring break trip to Daytona Beach and watch the golden statues get passed out. As I've gotten older I seem to have watched more of the pictures nominated and less nominees of the MTV Movie Awards.
However, the comic geek inside of me is still conflicted with the lack of genre films nominated; aside from just Best Visual Effects. If anything, 2014 proved comic book and fantasy films can be just as well produced and compelling as anything David Fincher directs. So I decided to put together my own nominees I felt could have been nominated for Academy Awards. Chances are the average theater viewer has seen more of these films than those nominated for Oscars. Plus, I added a few of my own categories.
In the following weeks I'll be posting these on my Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram page. People should feel free to comment on their choices for each category, or feel free to add any "geek" movie you feel I left out.
DISCLAIMER: I only based this on movies I've seen in 2014, which is why movies like Interstellar or The Interview are left out of certain categories.
