Other standouts in this year’s Oscars, which will be announced Feb. 26 at 8:30 p.m. on ABC, include Moonlight, which got nominated in eight categories, including best picture, director, supporting actor and supporting actress. Also up for eight awards is Arrival, including best picture, director, production design, cinematography and sound awards.
Receiving six nominations each were Hacksaw Ridge, Lion and Manchester by the Sea. Mel Gibson was nominated for his direction of Hacksaw Ridge after years as a Hollywood pariah, but he faces stiff competition. Fences and Hell or High Water each received four nods.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story were snubbed in the nominations with each getting only two. The former got nods in the costume design and production design categories, while the later was nominated in sound mixing and visual effects. Despite getting nominations for best comedy/musical and best actor for Ryan Reynolds, Deadpool was shut out of the Academy Award nominations completely, even with its Oscar campaign and much love from the critics.
