The 86th Annual Academy Awards: A List of The Nominations
The Best Picture nominees (Getty Images)
()
Before the crack of dawn in Los Angeles this morning, the entertainment press corps headed to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills for the nominations announcement of the86th Annual Academy Awards, presented by actor Chris Hemsworth and Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs.
Unlike the recent Golden Globes, which in effect, doubles the number of honorees with both dramatic and comedy/musical categories, the Oscars doesn't separate nominees by genre, so inevitably good pictures and performances are left out.
A list of nominees follows. Who do you think was left out? What surprised you?
The Oscars will be televised live on ABC on March 2 at 7 pm ET/4 pm PT.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
