Oscar Nominations - OMG!!!

Blue is the Warmest Color and The Past don't get nominated for Best Foreign Language film.  Actually, I just read that The Past didn't qualify in this category because it was first shown after the deadline.  So, why on  earth was it not nominated for Best Picture?  And what about the amazing performance by Adele Exarchopoulos in Blue is the Warmest Color?  And Inequality for All and Muscle Shoals are bypassed for Best Documentary.  These oversights will certainly make the Oscars a lot less interesting for me.
