The Hobbit in contention for the Oscars	Can't Post

The awards season is upon us with almost daily news about a critics group or association announcing nominations or awards. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have announced the 10 contenders that remain in the running for a Best Visual Effects nomination at the upcoming 87th Academy Awards. The contenders will present an effects reel to Academy branch members who are eligible to vote on January 10, 2015. The final Oscar nominations will be announced on January 15. This is now the 3rd time that "The Hobbit" has made the short list. It was previously nominated in 2012 and 2013 for "An Unexpected Journey" and "The Desolation of Smaug". "The Lord of the Rings" took this Oscar home in 2001, 2002 and 2003.

"The Battle of the Five Armies" is up against stiff competition with the likes of "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" and "Interstellar". Here's the list of the final 10 films:

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Godzilla

Guardians of the Galaxy

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

Interstellar

Maleficent

Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb

Transformers: Age of Extinction

X-Men: Days of Future Past

Yesterday, the Grammy nominations were also announced. "The Desolation of Smaug" was recognized in the category Best Song Written for Visual Media for Ed Sheeran's "I See Fire". Congratulations to Ed Sheeran for also being honored with Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album nominations for "X".
