By Matt Neglia

The Indiana Film Journalists Association have announced their long list (And we do mean long) of nominees for their end of year awards. Surprisingly, with so many nominees the notable snubs include Natalie Portman in "Jackie," the lack of "Sully" other than Tom Hanks and no Joel Edgerton in Best Actor for "Loving."
