Bethany mentioned it in her Morning News, but now it gets its own post: The 2014 Oscar nominees were revealed this morning, and you can read the full list of nominees after the jump.

Things I'd like to praise and complain about right off the bat:

*Huge congratulations to Bob Nelson, whose script for Alexander Payne's gorgeous Nebraska is up for Best Original Screenplay. Nelson's a former Almost Live! cast member, Nebraska is his first screenplay, and oh it would be so wonderful for him to take the prize. But he's got some ferocious competition from Spike Jonze, whose Her is exactly the type of film that's too smart to win Best Picture, with voters rewarding the prohibitive smartness via Best Screenplay. For now, here's Bob Nelson talking to Vulture about the the toughest scene he had to write for Nebraska.

*I am secretly rooting for Amy Adams to win Best Actress for American Hustle. Except for Julie & Julia, she's always very good, and this performance is her best yet. I can't say she was better than Cate Blanchett in Blue Jasmine, but Blanchett's already got an Oscar, so this could be Adams' year.

*Other names and titles I'm thrilled to see among the nominees, no matter what happens now: Martin Scorsese, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jonah Hill, Sally Hawkins, Lupita Nyong'o, June Squibb, and Karen O.

*Biggest gripe: Both Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep were garbage in August: Osage County and neither should be nominated. But at least Streep was riveting garbage. Roberts was just a walkabout mannequin that spat out the most ridiculously lame cussing when someone pulled the string in her back. The point of both these nominations: mid-ceremony cutaways to Very Famous People.
