Academy Awards 2020: Nominations

The nominations for the 92nd Academy Awards have been released, in a year that has been described by our resident film buff Tayo as containing ‘no massive surprises’. 

Indeed, it is true that this year contains no real shocks, unless you count the lack of female representation in main categories such as directing, and maybe Frozen not making it onto the nominations for Animated Feature Film.

The controversial Joker film (awarded just 2 stars by Tayo) leads the pack with 11 nominations. The Irishman, 1917 and Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood follow with 10 nominations each.

Tayo will be writing a more detailed analysis and predictions post for the Academy Awards, but in the meantime you can find the full list of categories and nominations below.
