(Photo by Andy Kropa/Invision/AP)Andy Kropa—Andy Kropa /Invision/AP  by [Daniel D'Addario](https://time.com/author/daniel-daddario/)  ## Daniel D'Addario Jan 15, 2015 1:36 PM UTC It’ll be a fight to the finish. _Boyhood_, _Birdman_, and _The Imitation Game_ all came out of this morning’s Oscar nominations looking strong, in an echo of last year’s three-movie race to best picture. All three of these best picture nominees saw their directors, screenplays, and two of their actors nominated for top prizes. The other five best picture nominees included _American Sniper_, whose star Bradley Cooper landing a best actor nomination was one of the morning’s biggest surprises, and _Selma_, whose missing out on nominations for director Ava DuVernay and star David Oyelowo was another. Also in the hunt are _The Grand Budapest Hotel_, _The Theory of Everything_, and _Whiplash_. Other major surprises included Jennifer Aniston missing out on a nomination after a lengthy campaign around her film _Cake_ (in favor of Marion Cotillard, who barely campaigned her movie _Two Days, One Night_, proof gladhanding isn’t everything) and Laura Dern getting nominated, in a role with relatively little screen time, for best supporting actress in _Wild_. The Oscars also threw several nominations at _The Grand Budapest Hotel_, whose best director nomination was Wes Anderson’s first outside the writing field, and surprisingly few at _Gone Girl_, whose screenplay was not among the nominees. **MORE** [The True Story of _The Imitation Game_](http://time.com/3609585/the-true-story-of-the-imitation-game/) The nominees are: **Best Picture** * _American Sniper_ * _Birdman_ * _Boyhood_ * _The Grand Budapest Hotel_ * _The Imitation Game_ * _Selma_ * _The Theory of Everything_ * _Whiplash_ **Best Actor** * Steve Carell, _Foxcatcher_ * Bradley Cooper, _American Sniper_ * Benedict Cumberbatch, _The Imitation Game_ * Michael Keaton, _Birdman_ * Eddie Redmayne, _The Theory of Everything_ **Best Actress** * Marion Cotillard, _Two Days, One Night_ * Felicity Jones, _The Theory of Everything_ * Julianne Moore, _Still Alice_ * Rosamund Pike, _Gone Girl_ * Reese Witherspoon, _Wild_ **MORE** [Bradley Cooper Ate Every 55 Minutes to Bulk Up for _American Sniper_](http://time.com/3584561/bradley-cooper-diet-american-sniper/) **Best Supporting Actor** * Robert Duvall, _The Judge_ * Ethan Hawke, _Boyhood_ * Edward Norton, _Birdman_ * Mark Ruffalo, _Foxcatcher_ * J.
