And those are your nominees for the Oscars this year! Not a ton of surprises here, if you’ve been following the trajectory this awards season. I am happy to see Klaus on here, the inclusion of Corpus Christi – a film I haven’t even heard of, much less seen – in the Best International Film category is a bit out-of-nowhere, lack of a lot of women and people of color is disappointing, 1917 getting nominated for its screenplay gives me pause, and I can’t say Joker deserves anywhere near the number of nominations it ended up getting, but whatever. It is what it is.
Anything jump out to you? Any egregious snubs, pleasant surprises? Feel free to discuss in the comments, and we’ll see you back to discuss the winners after the Oscars airs on February 9th, 6:30 PM PST on ABC.
