The 89th annual Academy Award nominations were announced Tuesday, January 24, honoring the best films of 2016 as chosen by members of the film industry. You can watch the announcement on the Oscars’ official YouTube channel, which is also embedded above. The awards themselves will be held Sunday, February 26. The broadcast airs on ABC at 8:30 pm Eastern.
This year’s nominations are led by the musical La La Land, whose 14 nominations tie it for the record for most nominations for a single film, currently held by 1997’s Titanic and 1950’s All About Eve. It’s followed by sci-fi drama Arrival and the sensitive coming-of-age story Moonlight, both with eight nominations. War film Hacksaw Ridge, “based on a true story” drama Lion, and the grief-stricken Manchester by the Sea have six nominations apiece.
Performers nominated included La La Land’s Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, Manchester By the Sea’s Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams, and Fences’ Denzel Washington and Viola Davis.
One bit of fun Oscar trivia: Meryl Streep is now the first actor to reach 20 nominations in her lifetime, with a Best Actress nomination for her performance in Florence Foster Jenkins. No other actor comes close to her total.
The awards are handed out in 24 categories, most of which have five nominees. The two exceptions: Best Picture, which can have between five and 10 nominees (and has nine nominees this year); and Makeup and Hairstyling, which has three nominees.
This year, the Academy tried something slightly different with its announcement. Instead of a formal presentation, the nominees were announced via a variety of short videos featuring previous nominees and winners, including last year’s Best Actress Brie Larson, 2007’s Best Supporting Actress Jennifer Hudson, former nominee Ken Watanabe, former nominee Jason Reitman, and others.
