Oscars 2020 Nominations Announced: ‘Joker’ Leads 11 Nominations [Complete List]

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has released their list of nominees for the 2020 Oscars. Despite controversy, Warner Brothers’ Joker leads, garnering 11 nominations, including Best Director for Todd Phillips, Best Actor for Joaquin Phoenix and Best Picture. Phoenix had recently received the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama at the Golden Globes. Other films to have received multiple nominations include Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood, The Irishman, each receiving ten nominations and Bong Joon Ho‘s Parasite, which received six.

There are also a number of snubs this year. No women were nominated for Best Director. Little Women, directed by Greta Gerwig, has been nominated for Best Picture, while A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood has only garnered a single nomination – Tom Hanks for Best Supporting Actor. Besides the six nominations for Parasite, many have noted that there are few nominations for people of color. This is in stark contrast to last year’s showing, with multiple awards going to either people of color, such as Rami Malek winning Best Actor for Bohemian Rhapsody, or films about people of color, such as Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse winning best Animated Feature. Another notable snub includes Disney’s Frozen II. This is a surprise, considering the Academy had not only nominated Frozen back in 2013, but had taken home Best Animated Feature. Other snubs include Uncut Gems and The Farewell. Despite critical acclaim, both films have received zero nominations

The Oscars will be February 9 and will be broadcasted on ABC. All nominations are listed below.
