Oscar Nominations: ‘Joker’ Tops List With 11 Noms; ‘1917’, ‘Irishman’, ‘Hollywood’ Nab 10 Apiece

Joker leads the nominations at the British Academy film awards, which will be handed out today amid controversy about the lack of diversity in the acting nominees.

When this year's Oscar contenders were announced, Mark Ulano scored a rare double nomination in sound mixing for Fox/Disney's Ad Astra and Sony's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (which also garnered a sound editing nom). "I had no expectation because there are some very good films out there this year," admits the veteran sound mixer, who won an Oscar for James Cameron's historical drama Titanic and nabbed an additional nomination for Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is Quentin Tarantino's love letter to the film industry, and indeed, on the first round of viewing, one might not pick up on the fastidious attention to detail the Oscar nominee for best director and screenplay paid to recreating 1969, 50 years later.When attending a screening of the best picture nominee at Tarantino's New Beverly Cinema on Beverly Blvd., immersing oneself in that period is the goal, as broadcasts from the local 1969 Los Angeles KHJ radio station

Quentin Tarantino’s earliest memory of Los Angeles was as a young boy visiting Grauman’s Chinese Theater, standing in the courtyard and looking at the handprints of John Wayne and Roy Rogers. He recollects the Mold-A-Rama machine outside that dispensed a souvenir wax pagoda if you inserted a quarter.

Filmdom’s battle between the haves and have-nots moved off-screen when Oscar nominations were announced earlier this month: Four films scored 10 or more nominations, with Todd Phillips’ “Joker,” leading the pack with 11, and Sam Mendes’ World War I nail-biter “1917,” Martin Scorsese’s epic gangster tale “The Irishman” and Quentin Tarantino’s retro “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” trailing a tick behind at 10 each. It’s rare for three films to land 10 or more nominations, let alone four.

Awards season is in full gear as actors take the spotlight on Sunday. The Screen Actors Guild Awards, recognizing the best film and television performances of the year, is just an hour away.

Quentin Tarantino is working on a Once Upon a Time in Hollywood spin-off series based on fictional TV show, Bounty Law.

When 1917 was announced as Best Film at the Golden Globes 2020, we all were left baffled! How did this Sam Mendes film win over hot favourites like Martin Scorsese's The Irishman and Noah Baumbach's Marriage Story? However, once watched, people understood why this technical marvel was the chosen one amongst several others. Furthermore, 1917 picked up 10 nominations at Oscars 2020, which includes Best Film and Best Director for Sam.
