The verdict is in. Members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) have cast their ballots in a – not altogether smooth (there had been glitches in the electronic voting process employed this year) – process over the last few weeks, and the nominations for the “Oscar” are in. Some of these do not come as a surprise, but there are some omissions – cruel as always. The Golden Globes will …
