Oscars: Nominations for 91st Academy Awards Announced

Months of blood, sweat, and tears of predicting this magnificent game we call the awards race. And now we all can collapse on our sofas – and analyse the 91st Academy Award nominations announced earlier. For some films there’s a sinking feeling, others popped from nowhere, some of the more likely candidates performed how we imagined, and one or two took a real boost (when perhaps many doubters can eat some humble pie).

The hostless Oscars ceremony takes place on 24th February. Anyway, take another look at this year’s nominees:
