This morning in the Hollywood spread the awards season rode into its final straight with the announcements of the 2018 Oscar nominations. The American Academy has a lot to overcome this year, and the ceremony is certain to be a politically charged event. The #Metoo and #Timesup campaigns will be front and centre on the red carpet and will permeate the winning speeches. There’s also the embarrassment of the Moonlight/La La Land envelope shenanigans which ended the 2017 awards in chaos and bewilderment to overcome. But today is all about the movies.

A month ago online film writers voted Jordan Peele’s Get Out as their top movie of the year. It is high on our list of this year’s frontrunners, along with Call Me By Your Name and Great Gerwig’s Lady Bird. We also have high hopes for Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water and Sean Baker’s The Florida Project. Big hitters include Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Phantom Thread and Martin McDonagh’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, and we’re likely to see many nominations come their way.

You can watch the announcement ceremony right here, and we’ll update this post with the list when all the talking is done.

So, as is tradition here’s old Os himself to introduce the Oscar Noms.oscar noms
