It's Ridiculous How Many Women Were Shut Out of the 2020 Oscar Nominations

Oscar Shorts: Animation — Hair Love

Charlize Theron has been nominated for many awards for her portrayal of Megyn Kelly in Bombshell, though she revealed that her kids aren't impressed with the nominations when she stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday."It's been a thrilling couple of weeks. I was nominated for a Golden Globe.

Monday morning’s Oscar nominations rebooted the #OscarsSoWhite conversation, reigniting discussion about representation after women were shut out of the directing category and only one person of color — Cynthia Erivo — was nominated in the acting categories.

Cynthia Erivo was 30,000 feet above the Pacific when she found out that she was nominated for two Academy Awards on Monday (Jan. 13), but she may as well have been on the moon."I’m literally in my seat going, 'I can’t say anything! I can’t scream, I can’t jump up and down, I can’t do anything, but I know this is happening!'" she tells Billboard hours after receiving the news of her nominations.

Now that we've all had a beat to come to terms with the many gasp-worthy snubs of the 2020 Oscar nominations list — even if we're still not over the most egregious oversight in a certain category — it might be time to try and figure out what all the fuss is about when it comes to those films, stars, and behind-the-lens talent which did make the cut for the 92nd Academy Awards.

They're not all bad, promise!

The 2020 Academy Award nominations are out today, and amongst all the movie news was one surprising snub in the music categories. Beyoncé was nowhere to be found on the list with her fan-favorite track, “Spirit,” from The Lion King.

Actors, songwriters, directors and more took to social media on Monday morning (Jan. 13) to react to their nominations for the 2020 Academy Awards."We are deeply grateful to @TheAcademy for our nomination this morning," Frozen 2 songwriter Kristen Anderson-Lopez, who scored a nod for best original song with her husband Robert Lopez for "Into the Unknown," tweeted before shouting out her collaborators on the smash Disney sequel.

Joker led the nominations for the 92nd annual Academy Awards with a total 11 nods.

It's been one of the most competitive years in a while for movies. There were several top-tier films competing for limited space on the Oscars shortlist, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed their nominees for the upcoming 92nd Academy Awards on Monday morning. As is the case every year, there were a few surprises among the nominee list and, of course, several deserving names that weren't called.

There wasn’t a lot of diversity in this morning’s 2020 Oscar nominations. The early-morning announcement started generating controversy before Issa Rae and John Cho even finished reading the list.

The nominees for the 92nd Academy Awards were announced on Monday morning (Jan. 13) at the David Geffen Theater in Los Angeles by actors John Cho (Searching) and Issa Rae (Insecure). The anti-hero smash Joker lead all nominees with 11 nods, followed by Mar
