With the precursor ceremonies out of the way and the grueling and sometimes weird award season winding to a close, the Oscars finally stepped into the spotlight today and announced the Academy's 2019 nominations for every category. Not surprisingly, we still don't have a ton of insight into what's going to happen in a few of the major races. This year's field is, perhaps, more wide open than we've seen in a long time, and it won't be long before all the campaigning really kicks into high gear.
The Oscars is one of the few ceremonies in which it really is an honor to be nominated. The phrase "Academy Award Nominated" follows people around for the rest of their careers, especially if it's in the service of an indie movie that is stacked with enough former nominees to look the poster and/ or end of the trailer look really cool. So, a big congratulations to everyone who picked up a nomination today. You can check out the full list below...

We'll have plenty of Oscar coverage over the next several weeks leading into the ceremony, which as you may remember, is going without a host this year. We can't promise you whether that'll help or hurt the entertainment value, but we can promise you we'll be updating the winners live and providing commentary during the ceremony on February 24th.
