Is anyone ever really surprised by Oscar nominations, especially since the Golden Globes always air prior? Really?

Like, sure, maybe we didn't know La La Land would hoard exactly 14 nominations (tied with Titanic and All About Eve, for the most in the Academy Awards' history, if you want some trivia), but we knew it was def gonna be an annoying number.

Following La La Land are the similarly raved about (but *cough* NOT overrated *cough*) Moonlight, and the alien invasion film Arrival, which both landed 8 nominations apiece.

The real news is that after two years of #OscarsSoWhite, 7 out of the 20 actors nominated were people of color, so we're gonna have to change the hashtag. #OscarsStillPrettyWhiteButNotAsWhite. #OscarsKindOfGreyishInColor. 

We're accepting submissions.

We kid, we kid, but still, it's important to highlight that while there have been instances of snubbing POC in the past (Re: Everything about Selma), it's much easier for the Academy to nominate non-white people when there are non-white films being made.

This year is obviously an excellent example, with four films specifically about highlighting racism in America: Hidden Figures, Fences, 13th, and O.J.: Made in America. Let's keep it up, okay Hollywood? Please?

Of course, we've still got plenty to complain about, because that's basically what awards shows are all about. Making fully formed opinions about a list of movies, in which you've only seen 3 or 4. And nope, not allowed to count Rogue One or Suicide Squad, BTW.

But seriously, we need to talk about how Meryl Streep gets a nomination for whatever happened in Florence Foster Jenkins, but Taraji P. Henson's name is nowhere to be found? Lol, imagine if Florence Foster Jenkins was actually the best movie ever, no one would ever know, BECAUSE NO ONE WATCHED THAT F*CKING MOVIE.

Not that we would mind letting Meryl get her hands on the mic again, just saying.

Well, we're definitely going to be tuning in on February 26th– stay tuned for where you can go to catch the show (Oh, you have cable? GOOD FOR YOU).
