91st Academy Awards Nominations Announced - Full List for 2018

Oscar Nominations

The complete list of nominees for the 91st Academy Awards, the most prestigious award in Hollywood, have been announced today (via oscar.go.com). The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed the nominees this morning via live broadcast. This has been one of the most controversial and frustrating awards seasons in a long time, with so many great films going unrecognized - but these Oscar nominations are surprisingly solid. There's no need to spend any more time introducing, let's get right into it! This year, The Academy selected a total of eight Best Picture nominees, including: Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman, Roma, and A Star is Born. Rami Malek also got a nod.

Congratulations to all of this year's nominees. The selections this year are a mix of good, and bad. It's not a complete trainwreck, and I'm glad to see both Minding the Gap and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs sneak in. However, there's quite important ones missing: Toni Colette for Hereditary, Justin Hurwitz for the First Man score, anything for You Were Never Really Here, If Beale Street Could Talk for Best Picture. I guess that's just the way it goes. It's also good to see a few - Rami Malek, Melissa McCarthy, and the surprise nomination for the wacky Swedish film Border (which I adore) in the Best Hair & Make-Up category, since this really deserves that nod. Overall I'm not totally satisfied but also not that upset by these nominees, but I'm sure there will be plenty of major discussion/complaints as always. What do you think of all these films?
