Between the creation and abandonment of a “Best Popular Film” category, the lasting search for a ceremony host, and the amplified fear that all the year’s “bad” films will sweep while all the year’s “good” films will go home empty handed, it’s been quite an Oscar season thus far. (Granted, that last one is pretty much an Academy Awards tradition by now… and I’ll leave it to you to decide for yourself where to set those margins.) And all this before we’ve even gotten word of which movies will be in contest for trophies this year. But Tuesday morning clues us into this year’s Oscar nominees, all of which you can find below, as we update in real time along with the official announcements. Here’s hoping that the best of fates come to the films that inspired and delighted us this year… and that they figure out this host debacle before showtime, but let’s not be greedy here.Best PictureBlack PantherBlacKkKlansmanBohemian RhapsodyThe FavouriteGreen BookRomaA Star Is BornViceBest DirectorBlacKkKlansman, Spike LeeCold War, Pawel PawlikowskiThe Favourite, Yorgos LathimosRoma, Alfonso CuarónVice, Adam McKayBest ActressYalitza Aparicio, RomaGlenn Close, The WifeOlivia Colman, The FavouriteLady Gaga, A Star Is BornMelissa McCarthy, Can You Ever Forgive MeBest ActorChristian Bale, ViceBradley Cooper, A Star Is BornWillem Dafoe, At Eternity’s GateRami Malek, Bohemian RhapsodyViggo Mortensen, Green BookBest Adapted ScreenplayThe Ballad of Buster ScruggsBlacKkKlansmanCan You Ever Forgive Me?If Beale Street Could TalkA Star Is BornBest Original ScreenplayThe FavouriteFirst ReformedGreen BookRomaViceBest Supporting ActressAmy Adams, ViceMarina De Tavira, RomaRegina King, If Beale Street Could TalkEmma Stone, The FavouriteRachel Weisz, The FavouriteBest Supporting ActorMahershala Ali, Green BookAdam Driver, BlacKkKlansmanSam Elliott, A Star Is BornRichard E.
