They’ve finally been announced! We now know the full list (below) of the films competing for this year’s Academy Awards, and while most were to be expected, there are a few nice little surprises in there.
It’s really nice to see ‘Arrival’ getting so many nominations, it’s a fantastic film and has been well remembered by the Academy. Also I’m very happy ‘Passengers’ has gotten a couple of nominations, it really is a beautifully created sci-fi so the nominations for production design and score are well deserved.
I would have really been thrilled if ‘Jim: The James Foley Story’ had managed a nomination for Best Documentary Feature, though somehow it only managed ‘Best Song’. Also I’m a little surprised to see that ‘Suicide Squad’ got a nomination, true the make up is great but the film itself is such a mess.
