The nominations, announced Monday morning by actors John Cho and Issa Rae, included many of the buzziest films of the year and a few big surprises, including Taika Waititi’s Nazi Germany spoof, Jojo Rabbit, which earned six nominations, including Best Picture.
Otherwise, the Academy mostly stuck to chalk, with pre-announcement favorites appearing all over the nominations. Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman earned 10 nominations, including Best Director for Scorsese and Best Supporting Actor nominations for Al Pacino and Joe Pesci.
Sam Mendes also received a Best Director nod for his World War I movie, 1917, which was nominated nine other times. Likewise, Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood earned 10 nominations, including Best Director for Quentin Tarantino, Best Actor for Leonardo DiCaprio, and Best Supporting Actor for Brad Pitt. Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite and Greta Gerwig’s Little Women each received six nominations.
Scarlett Johansson became just the 12th person to ever be nominated for two acting Oscars in the same year, receiving Best Actor recognition for Marriage Story and Best Supporting Actor recognition for Jojo Rabbit.
Notably absent from the Best Actor category was Adam Sandler, who had generated buzz and accolades for his dramatic turn in the Safdie brothers’ Uncut Gems.
The Oscars will air live on Sunday, February 9 at 3:30 p.m. PT/6:30 p.m. ET on ABC. Like the 2019 show, the Academy has chosen to go without a host, opting for a more free-form presentation than previous years. According to ABC President Karey Burke, there will still be “huge entertainment values, big musical numbers, comedy, and star power.”
In the run-up to the awards, some films with the most awards show buzz have been Parasite, a Korean-language film about the interconnected lives of families from different classes; WWI epic 1917; and Tarantino’s Manson family thriller, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.
Interestingly, three films made for streaming on Netflix — Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story, and Fernando Meirelles’s The Two Popes — have also garnered significant awards buzz and helped elevate the streaming giant to film’s most prestigious stage.
