These are the 2017 Oscar nominations

With big releases appearing consistently last year, we’re gearing up for an exciting 89^th Oscar ceremony – hosted by none other than Jimmy Kimmel. 

Instead of just one predictable winner in each category we have many, making the outcome gleefully unpredictable. It’s also a set of nominations that is set to shake things up.

The headlines? There are notably more non-white actors following last years boycott #oscarssowhite and La La Land could match the Oscar record of 14 awards. Meryl Streep has made history just by being nominated for her 20^th award and, oh yeah, Mel Gibson is back in the fold.
