The Oscar Nominations are in: FULL LIST

Andy Towle January 24, 2017 Leave a Comment

Moonlight

The Oscar nominations were announced this morning and leading the pack was critical darling La La Land with 14 nominations, which ties a record with All About Eve and Titanic.

Barry Jenkins gay drama Moonlight, about three periods in a young black man's life, received 8 nominations and Manchester by the Sea received six.

And Jenkins has made history, the HuffPost reports:

Barry Jenkins, the writer and director behind “Moonlight,” could become the biggest story of awards season should he nab Best Director at the 89th Academy Awards next month. His win would mark the first time a black man had ever done so.

But when the nominations were announced on Tuesday, Jenkins quietly made a little history along the way as well, becoming the first black writer-director to get nominated for not only Best Picture and Best Director but Best Screenplay, too.
