The 2015 awards season just got a lot more interesting.

Early Thursday morning, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” director J.J. Abrams, “Gravity” director Alfonso Cuarón, and “Into the Woods” star Chris Pine announced the nominees for the 87th Annual Academy Awards, live at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, Calif. Wes Anderson’s “The Grand Budapest Hotel” and Alejandro González Iñárritu’s “Birdman” scored the most nominations, each picking up an impressive nine nods.

But, just like every other year, the revealed Oscar contenders featured several unexpected surprises and snubs. While the Martin Luther King Jr. biopic “Selma” received nominations for Best Picture and Best Original Song, a huge shock came when director Ava DuVernay and lead actor David Oyelowo were omitted from their individual categories. David Fincher’s “Gone Girl” received only one nomination for Rosamund Pike in the Best Actress category and was notably snubbed for Best Director and Best Picture. In addition, “The Lego Movie,” which grossed $258 million domestically, wasn’t nominated for Best Animated Feature Film.

In other unpredictable news, Jake Gyllenhaal missed out on a Best Actor nod for his turn in “Nightcrawler” and Jennifer Aniston was unable to snag her first Academy Award nomination for her buzzed-about role in “Cake.” But, Bradley Cooper and Marion Cotillard managed to sneak into the Best Actor and Best Actress race with powerful performances in “American Sniper” and “Two Days, One Night,” respectively.

The Academy also welcomed a few newcomers—including Emma Stone, Eddie Redmayne, Felicity Jones, Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Keaton, and Steve Carell—who picked up their first-ever nominations.
