Hello again, old friends. It's that golden time of year when we push our personal and collective issues as humans to one side and focus on what really matters: who's succeeding in the entertainment industry.
The Oscars has decided to get down with the kids this year and instead of conducting its annual announcement ceremony in front of a live audience, industry heavyweights (Brie Larson, Jennifer Hudson, Brie Larson , Emmanuel Lubezki, Jason Reitman, Ken Watanabe) are currently revealing the nominees in a global livestream on the INTERNET. Talk about up with the times.
Here are your nominees for 2017. They're pretty much exactly what you might expect–except for La La Land! Really did not think that indie low-budget featuring all unknown talent was going to do this well!
