    Yes, the Oscar noms are out. I considered doing a snub/surprise post but I’m sure we’ll have more posts where people can seethe over Barbie’s snubs.

    Highlighting that half the acting nominees (10 of 20) are first-time nominees and seven are POC, so yay baby steps towards diversity and inclusion (and, yes, if you’re wondering, the other 10 previously-nominated actors are all white):

    – Lead Actress: Lily Gladstone – Killers of the Flower Moon
    – Lead Actress: Sandra Huller – Anatomy of a Fall
    – Lead Actor: Colman Domingo – Rustin
    – Lead Actor: Cillian Murphy – Oppenheimer
    – Lead Actor: Jeffrey Wright – American Fiction
    – Supporting Actress: Emily Blunt – Oppenheimer
    – Supporting Actress: Danielle Brooks – The Colour Purple
    – Supporting Actress: America Ferrera – Barbie
    – Supporting Actress: Da’Vine Joy Randolph – The Holdovers
    – Supporting Actor: Sterling K. Brown – American Fiction
