Oscar nominations were announced this morning. All the favorites made the final list. As usual, however, several strong contenders were left out; fringe candidates fell on both sides of the cut.

No movie received less respect than "Saving Mr. Banks," starring Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson, and Colin Farrell, among others. Despite solid reviews (7.8 imdb, 81 percent Rotten Tomatoes) and nominations at other award shows, the movie received just one nomination, for "best original score," according to Fox.

Based on a formula devised by a former Harvard math major (who's boasted a 75 percent and 81 percent accuracy rate in choosing winners over the last two years, respectively) and submitted to the Hollywood Reporter, Emma Thompson was a 90.6 percent lock to receive a nomination, or the same percentage as nominee and potential favorite, Sandra Bullock, based on an amalgamation of the award shows leading up to the Oscars. She didn't get in, of course, and neither did the movie, which was a reach at 37.2 percent, but not as much as recently elected nominee "Philomena" at 25 percent.

Another movie that didn't live up to its pre-Oscar buzz was "Inside Llewyn Davis," warranting only less heralded nominations for "best cinematography " and "sound mixing." The critically reviewed film by the Cohen brothers was given a 57 percent chance of reaching the final stage, though its featured actor, Oscar Isaac, hadn't accumulated the same pre-Oscar hype (in terms of other award shows and thus, the formula) for his highly applauded performance. Waiting for the experts to explain this one. Still, as of late the Cohen Brothers won and/or were nominated for a batch of Oscars for "No Country For Old Men" and "True Grit." (They also received two nominations for 2009's "A Serious Man.")

A surprise supporting actor nominee went to Jonah Hill for his work in "Wolf of Wall Street." It's Hill's second career nomination, his first coming in 2012 for his role as the Ivy League baseball statistician in "Moneyball."
