2015 Oscar Nominations: 'American Sniper,' 'Boyhood' Lead Contenders



And the nominees are ...



"Boyhood" came out the big winner in the dramatic category at the Golden Globes last weekend, and now it's a frontrunner to pick up some gold on Oscars night.



Richard Linklater's 12-year opus capturing the upbringing of a Texas boy was one of the nominees for the 87th annual Academy Awards, which were announced Thursday morning by actor Chris Pine, Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs, "Gravity" director Alfonso Cuarón and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" director J.J. Abrams.



Clint Eastwood film "American Sniper," which stars Bradley Cooper, was a bit of a surprise as it garnered nominations in nearly every major category.



Other nominated films included "Birdman," "The Imitation Game," "Selma" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel."
