The Oscar nominees will be announced by...

(from ew.com)

John Krasinski, Guillermo Del Toro, and Ang Lee are going to have to set their alarms bright and early on Thursday.
The three will join Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs to announce the nominees for the 88th Academy Awards, beginning at 5:30 a.m. PT. Directors del Toro and Lee will first unveil the nominees for animated feature film, cinematography, costume design, documentary feature, documentary short subject, makeup and hairstyling, original song, animated short film, live action short film, sound editing, and sound mixing.
Eight minutes later, Krasinski and Boone Isaacs will announce the nominations for actor, actress, supporting actor, supporting actress, directing, film editing, foreign language film, original score, best picture, production design, visual effects, adapted screenplay, and original screenplay.


So, fourth year in a row that they've dropped the previous winner/nominee. Emma Stone (an eventual nominee), Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pine were the last three. I'm glad they are keeping the filmmakers announcing the nominees, but Del Toro has a film that could very well get nominated in a couple tech categories.
