Academy Awards 2015: No horror films on list, but lots of scifi and mystery-thrillers get nominations.

Academy-Awards-2014

Another year…another horror snub.

The 2015 Academy Awards Nominees were just announced this morning and, as usual, not a single horror title was on the list. There are a lot of scifi and mystery-thrillers on the list, though, so it’s not a complete loss. The entire visual effects category is made up of scifi features, which is to be expected but it’s still a good thing.
