The nominees for the 88th annual Academy Awards were announced this morning in Beverly Hills. Comedian Chris Rock will host the event taking place on February 28th. Did your favorite movies and actors make the cut?
The Revenant leads the nominations with a total of 12, including Leonardo DiCaprio’s Best Actor nomination. DiCaprio has failed to take home an Oscar, despite being nominated a total of four times over his 20 year career.
Straight Outta Compton was snubbed from the Best Picture category, but it was nominated for Best Original Screenplay. Surprisingly, Idris Elba didn’t get a nomination for his role in Beasts of No Nation, leaving zero non-white actors nominated. Creed‘s Michael B. Jordan, and Concussion‘s Will Smith also were noticeably absent from the Best Actor list.
