Ooh La La

Nominations for Viola Davis, Dev Patel, Octavia Spencer, Denzel Washington, Mahershala Ali, Naomie Harris and Ruth Negga are just some of the reasons Oscar will not be so white this year. La La Land earned the most nominations of any single film. Here’s a look at all this year’s Academy Award nominees.

+ Mel Gibson was one of the surprise nominees. Oy vey.

+ The over-rated Meryl Streep secured her 20th Oscar nomination.

+ Why does he write like he’s running out of time? Lin-Manuel Miranda got a best song nom and is on the brink of a much-coveted EGOT: Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony. (I once won a ribbon for best newsletter.)

+ OK, OK, I know. All you care about is the snubs and surprises.
