91st Annual Academy Awards Live Results & List Of Winners

The 91^st Annual Academy Awards are finally here, and who knows how they’re going to play out? Ironically like many of the films it’ll be honoring, the yearlong buildup and campaign for the event has been plagued by backstage controversies – with the hiring and prompt resignation of would-be MC Kevin Hart to the debacles concerning its runtime, it looks like the host-less Oscars won’t be giving out jet skis for shortest acceptance speech this year.

With that in mind, the purpose of the Academy Awards is to celebrate 2018’s greatest movies; and following the trend of the show’s last several seasons, this year’s nominees are in themselves historic, not only for their diversity, but also for the genres and studios that they represent.

Roma, director Alfonso Cuarón’s heavy contender, racked in 10 nominations, tied for most of the night with The Favourite, as well as most ever with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon for nominations received by a foreign-language film. Not only is Roma part of that select group of foreign-language films to be nominated for Best Picture, it’s also the first to be nominated released by a digital streaming service: Netflix, which also received three other nominations for The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.

Also, the prominence of Black Panther, with 7 nominations across the board including Best Picture, is an accomplishment for both the worldwide cultural phenomenon, as well as the superhero genre and Marvel Studios, who also received a Best Visual Effects nomination for Avengers: Infinity War. That’s 8 nominations in total for the superhero genre, one which hardly ever receives recognition beyond the technical production categories.

With all that said, it’ll surely be an interesting night. This is the first time the show will be going on without a host since that weird Rob Lowe/Snow White duet in 1989. Though that probably won’t happen again, be on the lookout for any wandering dwarves.
