The 2019 Academy Awards still remain host-less, but they finally (at least) have some nominees. Announced Tuesday, January 22, the list of Oscar nominees boasts very few surprises, but as always, there are some folks who are up in arms.
If you watched the Golden Globes earlier this month, you'll see many of the same films and actors nominated for the 91st Academy Awards. Leading the pack with 10 nominations a piece are Netflix's Roma and the dark period comedy The Favourite. Here's how everything else measures up.
After teasing on Twitter, the Academy finally unveiled its 2019 Oscar nominations list early Tuesday morning.

"Now it REALLY feels like Oscars season," it wrote on Twitter.
The nominations were revealed by Kumail Nanjiani and Tracee Ellis Ross at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Los Angeles.

Why don't these two just host the awards ceremony as well?
Honestly, how adorable are these two?

While the Oscar nominated films and actors are hardly surprising, people are still shocked and enraged by the choices.
Good morning to my favorite movies and actors who may be unjustly snubbed today and no one else.

Among those considered "snubbed" by the Academy are Emily Blunt, Toni Collette, Timothee Chalamet, Bradley Cooper, Michael B. Jordan, Ethan Hawke, Won't You Be My Neighbor, A Quiet Place, Eighth Grade, Crazy Rich Asians, and more.
