Oscar Nominations 2020

[dawnybee]

We are beginning to see the end on the horizon. Last night was the Critics Choice Awards, the BAFTAs, the Spirit Awards and the SAG Awards are nigh, and we know have the nominations for the 92nd Academy Awards. Once again, this year will be a host-less event.

If you've been following the various critics awards these nominees aren't very surprising. To me the big shock is Costume Design categories. Ruth E. Carter (Dolemite is My Name), Julian Day (Rocketman) and Judy Temimme (Judy) were all not nominated despite each of them winning in various circles.

Others are decrying that this year is once again an Oscar So White redux as Lupita Nyong'o (Us), Jennifer Lopez (Hustlers), Awkwafina (The Farewell) and director Lulu Wang (The Farewell) were not put up; and like the BAFTAs there were no female directors nominated despite the work of Wang, Greta Gerwig (Little Women) and Lorene Scafaria (Hustlers).

I didn't feel Hustlers, Jennifer Lopez and Lupita Nyong'o or Us would be nominated beyond the critics circles. I loved "Rocketman" - I saw it four times in the theaters but I knew Taron Egerton wouldn't be nominated for an Oscar. Now, "Just Mercy" on the other hand was robbed!

Other surprise perceived snubs were The Safdie Bros. film "Uncut Gems" and its lead Adam Sandler who people swore would get a nomination.
