Full list of Oscar nominees, winners and interviews
Listen to KCRW’s interviews with the filmmakers behind this year’s Oscar nominated movies.
By Kaitlin Parker • • 3 min readWith a whopping 14 Oscar nominations, Damien Chazelle’s musical “La La Land”leads the pack and ties with 1950’s “All About Eve” and 1997’s “Titanic” for most nominations for a single film. “Moonlight” and “Arrival” are next in line this year, with eight nominations a piece.
Last year, the story of the Academy Awards was #OscarsSoWhite. The group of nominees is far more diverse this year. Three of the films nominated for best picture — “Fences,” “Hidden Figures” and “Moonlight”–feature predominately African American casts.
Three of the five nominees for best documentary feature are explicitly about race in America and have African American directors: Ava DuVernay for “The 13th,” Raoul Peck for “I Am Not Your Negro,” and Ezra Edelman for “O.J.: Made in America.”
Among the 20 acting nominees, seven are people of color (last year there were zero). There’s still an absence of women in the top categories. No women were nominated for best director, and of the 10 screenplay nominations for both original and adapted scripts, there was only one woman: Allison Schroeder for “Hidden Figures.”
In other news, with “Manchester by the Sea,” there is now officially a best picture nominee co-distributed by a streaming service — Amazon. And after years in director’s jail, Mel Gibson is officially back. His film “Hacksaw Ridge” received four nominations, including best picture and one for Gibson himself for best director.
Below is the full list of nominees with links to interviews with some of the filmmakers behind the year’s most acclaimed films.
