Elton John may be late to his own famed Oscar party on Feb. 9, but it will be for the best of reasons. John and longtime lyricist, Bernie Taupin, were nominated Monday (Jan. 13) for an Academy Award for best original song for “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again,” the uplifting tune that closes Rocketman, the fantastical film about John’s life.

It was quite an exciting Monday morning for legendary songwriter Diane Warren, 63, and This Is Us star Chrissy Metz, 39. On Jan.

The Oscar nominations came out this morning (Jan. 13), and it was music to eight different composers' ears. Five tracks were nominated for best original song.

It looks like Oscar voters didn’t heed Adam Sandler’s warning.

Cynthia Erivo is one step closer to becoming an EGOT winner.The actress and singer is nominated for best actress for her portrayal as Harriet Tubman in Harriet and best original song for co-writing and performing the film's number "Stand Up," at the 92nd Annual Academy Awards.If Erivo wins one of the categories, she would become the 16thperson to win an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award.

The nominations for the 2020 Academy Awards have officially been released and there are some mixed reviews.

The nominations for the 92nd Oscars were announced on Monday afternoon and although we could have guessed many of the nominees, there were a few surprises thrown in there.

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.

Receiving an Oscar nomination is a milestone in the career of any actor, and most will remember where they were when they received word of their achievement. That will definitely be the case for Florence Pugh. The 24-year-old has just discovered that she has been nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Amy March in Little Women, but when the call came through she wasn't actually even dressed.

Elton John and Bernie Taupin, fresh off their Golden Globe win for best original song for "(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again" from Rocketman (Paramount), were nominated for an Oscar in that category on Monday (Jan. 13). It's John's fourth Oscar nomination; Taupin's first.

Somewhere, Jennifer Lopez and Nai Nai are sh*t-talking the Academy.

Jennifer Lopez is not an Academy Award nominee — yet.

The Oscars have never been edgy, but this year, the Academy Awards reminded you of how stodgy they could be. After the dust settled on Monday morning from this year’s nominations, it was surprising just how many favorites had been snubbed.
