The nominations for the 91st Academy Awards are here! Hollywood’s biggest night beckons next month, and we now have the complete list of people and projects that are up for awards. This year’s Oscars are going to be pretty interesting, including the fact that there will likely be no host, as Kevin Hart backed out of the gig a few weeks back after facing backlash over a checkered social media history. It will be interesting to see how the Academy pulls off the first host-less ceremony in decades.
Overall, the nominations are a pretty well-rounded set, with a good mix of popular films and more obscure projects. Netflix continues to make its presence in the industry known, with several nominations for its prestigious picture Roma.
As always, we’ll be posting our guesses for the winners before the Academy Awards air on February 24. In the meantime, check out the full list of nominees here, and leave your thoughts in the comments.
