The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the full list of nominees for the 86th Annual Academy Awards bright and early this morning.
Longtime awards season heavy hitters American Hustle and Gravity both racked up the greatest number of nominations with ten each, but early favorite 12 Years a Slave is no slouch, either, earning nine nominations.

With the announcement of the 86th Academy Awards nominations only a few days away, we here at IAR thought it was time to weigh in on the names we think will be read on Thursday morning.
