There are some surprising nominations for some movies I am not familiar with, and there are some even more surprising omissions.
Ryan Coogler did not receive a nomination for Best Director for “Black Panther”, neither did Barry Jenkins for “If Beale Street Could Talk” or Bradley Cooper for “A Star is Born.” There were also no women nominated for Best Director.
“Crazy Rich Asians”, “Widows”, and “Sorry to Bother You” were not recognized at all.
Surprisingly, John David Washington who starred in “BlacKkKlansman”, was not nominated for Best Actor. Michael B. Jordan was also not nominated for Best Supporting Actor for “Black Panther”.
Emily Blount who starred in “Mary Poppins Returns,”which was nominated for four Oscars, and a “A Quiet Place,” was also not recognized.
The Oscars air February 24th on ABC.
