Andy Serkis and Tiffany Haddish had the honor of announcing the nominees for the 2018 Oscars bright and early on January 23, 2018. Celebrating the best in films from 2017, the 2018 Oscars list of nominees was topped by The Shape of Water with 13 nominations. Dunkirk scored eight nominations including Best Picture, and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri earned seven nominations including Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Actress (Frances McDormand).
The shockers included Phantom Thread‘s Lesley Manville instead of Holly Hunter in the Best Supporting Actress category, Daniel Day-Lewis in the Best Actor category, and Phantom Thread grabbed one of the nine spots in the Best Picture category as well as a director nomination. Phantom Thread earned a lot more love from the Academy than it did from any awards group or guild leading up to the Oscars. Jane didn’t earn a spot in the Best Documentary category, and it’s bizarre Martin McDonagh did not receive a Best Director nod for his fantastic work on Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
Congratulations go to Mudbound‘s cinematographer Rachel Morrison for being the first female to earn a nomination in the Best Cinematography category. Lady Bird‘s Greta Gerwig became only the fifth female director to earn recognition in that major category. And, Oscar fav Meryl Streep’s nomination for The Post increased her record for the most nominations as a performer to 21.
The 90th Academy Awards will be held on Sunday, March 4, 2018. The awards show will air live from Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood on ABC beginning at 3:30pm PT/6:30pm ET. Jimmy Kimmel is returning to host what’s sure to be an interesting show, given the state of the world.
