The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here: Oscar nominations have just been announced! This year’s Golden Globe winners and recently announced BAFTA nominations were mostly distributed among familiar titles like A Star Is Born, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Roma. This morning, the Oscars proved no different.

The Favourite and Roma received the most nominations (10 each!), with the latter also dominating the technical awards. Yalitza Aparicio also became the second Mexican actress to be nominated for the Best Lead Actress award after Salma Hayek (who was nominated for 2002’s Frida). Late bloomer Vice and audience-favorite A Star Is Born raked in an impressive eight nominations, despite the notable lack of a nomination for Bradley Cooper’s direction in the case of the latter, while Black Panther followed closely behind with seven, including a history-making Best Picture nomination for the superhero movie. 

Cold War, the Polish Best Foreign Film entry from Oscar Winner Pawel Pawlikowski was a surprise contender with three major nominations, including one for Best Director. In an awards show that often confines international cinema to one category, it’s incredibly refreshing to see multiple films from all over the world crack so many different categories.

The nominations are not without major snubs. Despite last year’s (slight) progress in celebrating female filmmakers (Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird, for example), it is extremely troubling to see a lack of female directors or their films (You Were Never Really Here, Private Life, The Rider, Shirkers to name just a few) being recognised for major awards like Best Director or Best Picture this season.

The Academy also overlooked impressive (perhaps even career-peak) performances by Toni Collette in Hereditary and Ethan Hawke in First Reformed, while Call Me By Your Name star Timothee Chalamet, despite being nominated for all major awards for his role in Beautiful Boy, was overlooked by The Academy. Another glaring oversight was the lack of Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, long considered the eventual winner of the Best Documentary Feature category. Elsewhere, in a year that was rumoured to be a rematch between Damien Chazelle and Barry Jenkins, it’s a shame to see both directors’ films — First Man and If Beale Street Could Talk, respectively — underperform, with Jenkins’s feature shockingly being left out of the Best Picture race and First Man composer Justin Hurwitz failing to secure a nod.

On a brighter note, to our and Oprah’s delight, Capharnaum scored a nomination for Best Foreign Language Film following Golden Globe, Critic’s Choice, and BAFTA nominations this year. This marks the second Oscar nomination of a Lebanese film after last year’s The Insult.
