Thanks to your nominations we have now compiled the final list of nominees for The 13th Annual JoBlo Movie Awards (aka The Golden Schmoes)! Final voting begins tomorrow and runs from Tuesday, February 18th through  27th, with winners to be announced on Friday, February 28th, just ahead of the Oscars!

No real surprises in terms of nominations this year, as they're mostly consistent with the popular opinion of the best of the best. However, there were a few nods to note, including Scarlett Johansson for Best Supporting Actress in HER (for which she was blocked from in the Golden Globes), as well as Brie Larson for her work in SHORT TERM 12. Other notable exceptions were MAN OF STEEL with 7 nominations, PACIFIC RIM with 6 nominations, and THE WORLD'S END with 5 nominations. I'm especially happy to see some love for both PRISONERS (4 nominations) and PACIFIC RIM (even if the latter was nominated for both most underrated AND overrated flick of 2013).

No records were broken in terms of MOST nominations (which still belongs to Christopher Nolan's INCEPTION with 19 nominations), but we had some high scorer's for sure. THE WOLF OF WALL STREET took the most nominations with a total of 14 with AMERICAN HUSTLE and GRAVITY tying for second place with a total of 12. 12 YEARS A SLAVE was third place with 9 nominations. Overall, it was a pretty even playing field with a nice range of flicks taking the top spots, even if they were expected.

MOST NOMINATIONS (2013)

The Wolf of Wall Street (14)
American Hustle (12)
Gravity (12)
12 Years A Slave (9)
Man of Steel (7)
Pacific Rim (6)
The World's End (5)
