The 2018 Academy Award Oscar nominations have been revealed ahead of the live broadcast ceremonies on March 4 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. The Shape of Water, Dunkirk, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri all lead the pack with the most nominations. Check out the full list here, including a historical first with Logan.
Before the Fox Force Five News staff battle it out in our annual Oscar Battle Royale pool, here are all the nominations for this year’s Academy Awards! The Shape of Water is officially on top with 13 nods. THIRTEEN NOMINATIONS. FOR GUILLERMO DEL TORO’S MONSTER ROMANCE PERIOD PIECE. What a time to be alive. Get Out also surprised us all with a Best Picture nod and more — because Get Out was freaking awesome even though both our reviews (Thanks Grant/Michael) hated on the movie, big time…. Crazy people.
Interesting observations:
- I’m shocked James Franco didn’t get a Best Actor nod, considering he won the Golden Globe. I honestly think his recent allegations of sexual harassment causes his omission. The Academy doesn’t want another Casey Affleck situation in 2018.
- The Boss Baby is this year’s Suicide Squad with a silly nod (except it won’t win because… Pixar).
- Logan was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay which is crazy as shit – a comic book film just got nominated for Best Screenplay?? What?? We all wanted Logan to get some recognition but I didn’t expect that. This would make Logan the first ever comic book film to be recognised in this category.
- Blade Runner 2049 was sadly limited to the technical categories which I kind of expected considering its poor box office haul..
