New Delhi:
The nominations for the Oscars 2018 have been announced (with
Priyanka Chopra making a brief cameo in the visual for Best Cinematography) and there are few surprises in the list. Golden Globe winners Frances McDormand, Gary Oldman, Guillermo Del Toro, Saoirse Ronan, Sam Rockwell, Allison Janney and Guillermo Del Toro have all made it in their respective categories - the notable omission is James Franco, who has been overlooked for Best Actor.
Three Billboards In Ebbing, Missouri - which was the big winner at the Globes - has several nods including Best Film. The Best Director category makes up for the exclusion of Greta Gerwig (
Lady Bird) and Jordan Peele (
Get Out).
The Shape Of Water, which won two Golden Globes including Best Director, leads the Oscar nominee list with 13 nods.
Dunkirk, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, and Darkest Hour have eight, seven and six nominations respectively.
Lady Bird has five nods while
Get Out, Mudbound and
Call Me By Your Name have four.
The nominees were announced by actors Andy Serkis and Tiffany Haddish - the latter seemed to have trouble with many names on the list, which she ruefully acknowledged. The Oscars will be held on March 4 - the morning of March 5 for India.
