(FULL LIST) Oscar Nominations Huge Snubs for “Ma Rainey,” Spike Lee, “One Night in Miami,” Only 8 Titles in Best Picture Category

Share

Huge subs for “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” no supporting actor or screenplay noms. “Mank” was blanked for screenplay. Big love love for “Judas and the Black Messiah” with two supporting actor nominations. Amazing.

Only 8 nominees for Best Picture, nothing for “Ma Rainey” or “Soul.” Nothing for “Da 5 Bloods.” “One Night in Miami” All ‘blacked out.’ This is very strange considering the Academy has expanded to a much more diverse membership. The inclusion of Thomas Vinterberg for Best Director of a Foreign Film, from Denmark, “Another Round,” is a total shock. Regina King was hoped for and if not her, several American directors like Aaron Sorkin were snubbed in Vinterberg’s favor. Spike Lee, also, for “Da 5 Bloods.” And nothing for Paul Greengrass for “News of the World.”

Vinterberg’s Best Director nomination for the Danish film “Another Round” is a shock this morning. Distributed by Samuel Goldwyn, this film and director are dark horses. But the film will win Best Foreign Language Feature.


Diane Warren received her 12th nomination for Best Song for “Io (Seen)” from “The Life Ahead.”

Documentary nominees include “Time” and “Crip Camp,” either of which could be the winner.
