The Oscar nominations have just been announced by Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas from London in a live webcast that aired moments ago. The Oscars will be awarded on April 25 from the Los Angeles Union Station and the Dolby Theater.
‘Mank’ is the film with the most nominations with 10.
The biggest surprise nominee is ‘Love and Monsters’ up for Best Visual Effects. ‘Love and Monsters’ got the nomination without having garnered much Oscar buzz going into awards season and wasn’t nominated for the Golden Globes or Bafta’s.
The most notable snub at this years Oscars is Delroy Lindo and his performance in ‘Da 5 Bloods’. Going into awards season there was a whole lot of buzz around his performance in Spike Lee’s joint. However, that buzz instantly disappeared on January 6 when Trump supporters violently attacked the U.S. Capitol Building. In the film, ‘Da 5 Bloods’, Delroy Lindo plays a hardcore Trump supporter to great effect.
