Here they are! The Oscar nominations this morning did bring some surprises, as several lone nominees for their films in acting (Andrea Riseborough, Paul Mescal, Brian Tyree Henry, Ana de Armas and Bill Nighy) were good to see. I’ve managed to overlook Triangle of Sadness, a film that came out of the Cannes Film Festival last summer, but I guess I need to see it now. But it sure looks to me like Everything Everywhere has the frontrunner status here- we just need to see if it can win at the guilds (PGA, DGA, SAG) and BAFTA to confirm it.
