91st Oscar Nominations Announced

Roma co-leads with 10 nominations.

The Oscar nominations did offer a few surprises, but I predicted 76% (81/106) of the nominees. (I didn't predict the short categories.) The frontrunner appears to be Roma, which could totally win. Anyways, I'm sad for First Man, If Beale Street Could Talk, Widows, and First Reformed, among others who underperformed or missed entirely, but I'm also thrilled about The Favourite, A Star is Born, Black Panther, Roma, and BlacKkKlansman doing so well. Here's to whatever comes in the rest of the awards season.
