It’s the most wonderful time of the year: award show season. On Monday morning, actors John Cho and Issa Rae announced the nominees for the upcoming 92nd Academy Awards. As Rae said after reading the Best Director category, “Congratulations to those men.”
Here’s the take away: Hustlers was snubbed. More specifically, Jennifer Lopez did not get a Best Supporting Actress nomination, which is a travesty. Despite constant criticism of the Academy’s inability to recognize women directors and making tiny steps in the right direction last year, the Academy did not recognize any women directors in the Best Director category, regardless of the existence of Greta Gerwig. Adam Driver secured a Best Actor nomination for Marriage Story. No one on the voting board saw Uncut Gems, apparently, or someone has beef with Adam Sandler. Wasn’t that one a critical darling, or should I no longer trust my Twitter feed?
The Irishman and Joker lead nominations this year. I don’t know either, bruv.
The Academy Awards will air live Sunday, Feb. 9 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. The red carpet starts at 6:30 p.m. Watch both, if you feel so motivated. I know I will.
