The 92nd Academy Award Nominations are out!
Names and nominations for this year’s Oscars were released earlier today, and it seems a big takeway is the shakeup of old Hollywood with the new realities of the entertainment world. A prime example of this is the fact that Netflix’s The Irishman and Marriage Story have collected 24 nominations, including best picture honors, combined.
In terms of diversity, this year’s Oscars is relatively more of the same. The films that gained the most nominations were primarily white and male-focused. This includes Joker gaining 11 nominations including best picture, director (Todd Phillips), actor (Joaquin Phoenix) and score (Hildur Guðnadóttir). Then, the World War I epic 1917, and Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood both received 10 nominations. And so too did The Irishman.
In fact, it seems “The Oscars So White” is still a thing for the Awards ceremony as Cynthia Orivo was the only Black actor or actress to receive a nomination (for her work in Harriet…, another slavery film). Meanwhile, notablile female directors from this year such as Greta Gerwig (Little Women) and Lulu Wang (The Farewell) were ignored. Thankfully, at least, Parasite was respected by the Academy enough to gain six nominations, including best picture nom.
But how did LGBTQ artists and films do this year? Unfortunately, noms for LGBTQ projects were fairly slim. Antonio Banderas was nominated for Best Actor in Pain and Glory for playing a gay director and the film recieved a Best International Feature Film nod. In addition, Margot Robbie was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her lesbian role in Bombshell. Then finally, Rocketman’s “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” was nominated for Best Original Song. Other notable LGBTQ films from the year like Booksmart and Portrait of a Lady on Fire were completely ignored.
A disappointment, to say the least. But, at least we have the Dorian Awards to fall back on.
But what were the rest of the nominations? You can find that information down below.
