    The nominees for the 2020 Academy Awards have been revealed. Now in its 92nd year, the annual awards show honors cinematic achievements in the film industry. This year’s gala is set for Sunday, February 9th, 2020 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California. Once again, the Academy has opted out of having another host.

    Stop laughing: Todd Phillips’ Joker dominated the entire slate with a whopping 11 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Score, Best Cinematography, and many more. Quite a coup for the comic book movie.

    Right behind Gotham’s Clown Prince is Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, and Sam Mendes’ 1917, which all racked up 10 nominations each, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Screenplay nods.

    Other features that fared well include Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story, Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit, and James Mangold’s Ford vs. Ferrari. Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite managed to nab both Best Picture and Best International Feature Film.

    The same could be said for Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, which was nominated for Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay. However, Gerwig was notably absent from the Best Director category, which has already drawn ire.

    A few other major snubs include The Farewell’s Awkwafina for Best Actress, The Irishman‘s Robert De Niro for Best Actor, Hustlers’ Jennifer Lopez for Best Actress, Dolemite Is My Name’s Eddie Murphy for Best Actor, Frozen 2 for Best Animated Feature, Apollo 11 for Best Documentary Feature, and any and all nods for Uncut Gems despite winning over multiple critics’ circles across the board.

    It’s also a very white slate with only three nominations for artists of color: Cynthia Erivo for Best Actress in Harriet and also for Original Song alongside Joshuah Brian Campbell, in addition to Barack Obama with a Best Documentary nomination for producing American Factory.

    And much to the dismay of many horror hounds out there, prior Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o did not return with a Best Actress nomination for Us, while Ari Aster’s Midsommar was similarly ignored. Having said that, The Lighthouse did manage to nab a Best Cinematography nomination, which was by proxy A24’s sole nomination. Unreal.

    The full list of nominees can be found below. Stay tuned to Consequence of Sound for more coverage of the 2020 Academy Awards.
