New Delhi:
Hollywood will wake up to the announcing of this year's Oscar nominees. Like each year, the nominees will be announced at the crack of dawn in USA - 5.30am PST or 7pm IST.
If the just-concluded Golden Globes are to be taken as an indicator of Oscar excellence then the names read out today will include 12 Years A Slave and American Hustle for Best Film, Alfonso Cuaron for Best Director, Cate Blanchett and Amy Adams for Best Actress, Matthew McConaughey and Leonardo DiCaprio for Best Actor, and Jennifer Lawrence and Jared Leto in the Supporting Actor categories.
Other names likely to make it are 12 Years A Slave's Chiwetel Ejiofor and Captain Phillips' Tom Hanks for Best Actor, Gravity's Sandra Bullock and Philomena's Judi Dench for Best Actress, Captain Phillips' Barkhad Abdi and 12 Years A Slave's Michael Fassbender for Best Supporting Actor, and 12 Years A Slave's Lupita Nyong'o and August: Osage County's Julia Roberts for Best Supporting Actress.
The Academy has varied in the number of movies it puts forward for Best Film ever since the category was expanded to 10 to include James Cameron's Avatar in 2010 - nine films were nominated last year and in 2012.
India's Oscar entry, The Good Road, has failed to make the Oscar shortlist.
