And the 2015 Jewish Academy Award nominees are…

“The Grand Budapest Hotel” topped the field with nine Oscar nominations — in a tie with “Birdman” — as Hollywood unveiled the list of official Academy Award contenders on the morning of Jan. 15.

Tribesmen looking for the Jewish angle noted that “Budapest Hotel” was inspired by the writings of Austrian-Jewish novelist Stefan Zweig (1881-1942), while the film’s Jewish producer, Scott Rudin, shared in the triumph.

As for the rest of the numerous award categories, it was neither the worst nor the best of times for Jewish themes and talent.

Jewish screenwriter Graham Moore got a nod for best adapted screenplay for his work on “The Imitation Game.” The film is No. 2 in nominations, with a total of eight, including a best picture nod. 

In the hotly contested foreign-language film category, with entries from 83 countries, Israel’s “Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem” had been eliminated in the first round. However, Poland’s “Ida” made the short list of five finalists with the intense story of a young novice about to take her vows as a nun, who discovers that she is the daughter of Jewish parents killed in the Holocaust.

“Ida” is also in the running for best cinematography.

The Argentinian film “Wild Tales” joined “Ida” among the final foreign-language contenders. Directed by Damian Szifron, who is Jewish, the film’s best segment depicts a wedding from hell in which the Jewish bride discovers her husband’s infidelity during their wedding reception.

The Israeli short film “Aya,” by Mihal Brezis and Oded Binnun, made the final cut with the encounter at Ben Gurion Airport between a young Israeli woman and an arriving Danish tourist, who mistakes her as his hotel driver.

Finally, veteran composer Hans Zimmer was nominated for his original score in “Interstellar.”

Oscar winners will hoist their trophies on the evening of Feb. 22 in a ceremony televised to 225 countries and territories across the globe.
