So here it is, the big game for film fans as it were, the Academy Award Nominations. What will follow is much speculation about who and what will win this or that and of course we here at CultureSmash will participate in siad speculation. We’ll be playing an Oscar game on episode 296 of the CultureSmash cast which you can find next week on iTunes and Stitcher radio or participate in live on YouTube or the CultureSmash Google Plus page. Check out our facebook page here for details and the event when it goes live. The overlong and somewhat, very boring awards ceremony will air on ABC on Sunday March 2nd, at 7e/4p time. So to gear up for the game here are today’s announced nominations.
