The 2019 Oscar nominations and in and all we can say is wow!
As usual the list of nominees for the 91st annual Academy Awards includes some notable snubs, but this year’s list includes one major surprise.
For the first time ever a comic book superhero film earned a Best Picture nom. Black Panther has scored a whopping seven nominations in all, including the night’s biggest honors.
The Favourite and Roma tied for most nominations of the year, with ten each.
The Alfonso Cuarón helmed drama scored noms for Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Cinematography, as well as Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film. While there were no big surprises there, the black-and-white feature also earned its actresses Yalitza Aparicio and Marina De Tavira nods for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress respectively.
Surprisingly, A Star Is Born director Bradley Cooper has been left off of the nominees list for Best Director. The remake of the classic tale earned eight nominations including Best Picture and acting noms for Cooper and Lady Gaga.
Emily Blunt was also left off of the list of nominees for Best Actress — another major snub. The film earned a total of four nods including Best Original Song for “The Place Where Lost Things Go.”
The 91st annual Academy Awards, will take place, without a host for the very first time in thirty years, on Sunday, February 24 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
