complete list 2014 oscar nominees academy awards statues

The nominees for the 86th annual Academy Awards have been revealed, with American Hustle, Her, 12 Years a Slave, and Gravity among several films with multiple nominations. The 2014 Oscar winners will be announced during the live show hosted by Ellen DeGeneres on March 2, 2014.

Although every Academy Awards brings with it its share of snubs and surprises, the nominees are fairly close to those seen in the recent Golden Globes. The format of the Golden Globes is different, of course, with twice the nominations in many categories thanks to the multiple film category – namely the “Comedy or Musical” and “Drama” categories. Regardless, you’ll find many of the same names.

The best Oscars hosts ever, ranked
Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes, and Regina Hall hosting the 2022 Academy Awards.

Over the course of the 94 Academy Awards ceremonies that have taken place since 1929, a total of 79 individuals have served as host. Many hosted on their own, while others co-hosted with fellow actors, musicians, or other Hollywood personalities. The first hosts ever were Douglas Fairbanks and William C. DeMille, who co-hosted together in 1929. Bob Hope hosted the ceremony a shocking 19 times.

Agnes Moorehead has the honor of being the first female co-host in 1948, while Whoopie Goldberg was the first woman to host solo in 1993. Whether for fantastic performances or viral moments, each host has left his or her mark. With that in mind, here’s our list of the most memorable Oscars hosts ever.
Bob Hope (1940-1943, 1945-1946, 1953, 1955, 1958-1962, 1965-1968, 1975, 1978)

The best Oscar speeches ever, ranked
Michael Moore on stage at the Oscars.

The speeches are arguably the most memorable parts of any Oscar ceremony. More than the wins themselves, the speeches are what people talk about the next day. We can hate the Academy for its decisions, but if the winner gives a worthy speech, we might actually forget about our contempt. A great Oscar speech can make or break a ceremony; enough great ones, and we might consider the whole thing a victory, even if the Academy's choices leave us scratching our heads.

Throughout its 95-year history, from the 1927 Oscars to the 2023 Oscars, the ceremony has featured many incredible speeches. From the hilarious to the inspiring, from the socially conscious to the outright unhinged, these speeches have become almost as iconic as the actors delivering them and, in some cases, more famous than the wins themselves. Indeed, they have entered the pop culture lexicon, becoming important pieces of cinematic history.

A man holds a sign up at the Oscars.

After nine decades, the Oscars, also known as the Academy Awards, remains the most prestigious show in the film community. It's the Super Bowl for movies as Hollywood's best and brightest stars meet under one roof to celebrate the year in film. Winning an Oscar, or even being nominated for an Oscar, can change someone's career overnight.

Because the ceremony is live, anything can happen. Sometimes, a heartwarming speech like Bong Joon-ho's in 2020 goes viral for all the right reasons. In other cases, like the 2022 Oscars, a slap by the eventual winner for Best Actor becomes one of the most talked about moments in the show's history for all the wrong reasons.
