Guardians of the Galaxy Nominated For Two Oscars; Complete List

The #1 movie of 2014 has just been announced to be up for not one, but two Oscar awards.

Guardians of the Galaxy has been nominated for “Best Achievement In Visual Effects” and “Best Makeup and Hairstyling.”

In the Visual Effects category they also face competition from Captain America 2, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Nolan’s Interstellar and X-Men: Days Of Future Past.

The Makeup category sees the Guardians taking on Foxcatcher and The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Director James Gunn stated on his Facebook he was “extremely pleased” with the nominations, in addition to adding a few remarks about the other nominees including that he felt Guardians of the Galaxy “costume designer, Alexandra Byrne, our Production Designer, Charles Wood, and our Sound team from Skywalker Sound were snubbed as badly as anyone.”
