John's Film Awards! - The Nominees

Now that the awards season is over I've decided to do my own awards. Yeah I know you're probably bored of this stuff but I thought, 'Why the hell not? I'll do my own!'

Just a few things:
1. I still haven't seen every single movie of 2014.
2. The maximum amount of nominees per category is 7, the minimum is 3.
3. I'll be announcing the winners within the next few weeks. I'll have my picks and an audience selection. (See below for details)
4. This is just for fun. So please no one freak out if you're pick favorite film was nominated for anything.

I'd also like to involve you - the audience. Down below are the nominees and I'd like you pick your favorite of each category and then message me on my Facebook page with your selections. I'll tally the picks and announce the winners when I announce my picks.
