Oscar Nominations 2017: Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet the Beautiful People of This Year’s Academy Awards

After 2016’s #OscarsSoWhite controversy, the 2017 Academy Awards promise to be a refreshingly diverse ceremony: Among the night’s most promising and buzzed-about honorees are Moonlight, Barry Jenkins’s coming-of-age narrative about a young black man coming to terms with his sexuality in the projects of Miami, and Hidden Figures, the Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe three-hander about the black women mathematicians working behind the scenes at a nascent NASA in the lead-up to the agency’s first successful mission. Elsewhere, Damien Chazelle’s sophomore film La La Land, which swept the Golden Globes, promises to have a strong showing on Feb. 26, and Kenneth Lonergan’s devastating Manchester by the Sea sees nominations for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Picture, and Best Director. Among the lesser-expected nominees are Meryl Streep for Florence Foster Jenkins and Nicole Kidman for Lion, while Amy Adams was snubbed for dual work in Nocturnal Animals and Arrival.
