In awards season news, the academy of motion picture arts and sciences announced the nominees for the 89th Academy Awards earlier this week. La La Land once again leads the nominations with a whopping 14, tying Titanic and All About Eve for most of all time. This is also a historically diverse batch of nominees, with black actors nominated in every acting category for the the first time in Oscars history. A black director is making history too, with writer-director Barry Jenkins becoming the first African-American to be nominated in all three major categories (Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay) for Moonlight. It’s not all good news, though. This reviewer was disappointed to learn that both Deadpool and anime film Your Name were left out of this year’s nominations while nobody’s favorite summer blockbuster, Suicide Squad, walked away with a nomination for Best Makeup. The offbeat superhero comedy and the Japanese animated feature were among my favorite films of 2016, and it’s disheartening to see that the academy is still not giving comic book movies and non-Studio Ghibli anime their proper due. Oh well, it only took nearly a century for #OscarssoWhite to have an effect, so maybe they’ll eventually have their day. Baby steps, I guess. You can find the full list of nominees below:
