Shocking that Arrival got so much love, but Amy Adams was overlooked.

She was nominated for best actress. At least according to The Huffington Post.

I concur about the sentiment for Amy. She gave a far more impactful and meaningful performance than Meryl, in my opinion.

Interesting... the list I'm reading has Adams but not Negga:

Must be some bad reporting somewhere.

Alternative Oscar nominations!

Would have loved to see a Janelle Monae nom for Hidden Figures- I thought she was excellent in that part. Very happy for all the Moonlight love- I hope it doesn't get completely overlooked on Oscar night.

Super happy for Negga as she's definitely deserved for her role in Loving. Bummed for Adams, though, who gave two excellent performances this year. Don't throw rocks, but I think Streep was the one who should have been left off the list this morning.

Nothing else was really that surprising. It's great to see some more diversity this year - let's hope for even more next year!!

No rocks.  I completely agree.  Nothing wrong with Streep's performance, but she got the nom that should have gone to Adams.

I was expecting Tom Hanks to get a nomination for Sully.

No Finding Dory for Best Animated Feature?

Yay Michael Shannon.

Yay Isabelle Huppert, Ruth Negga.

I just saw Arrival last week an Adams' performance has been haunting me ever since. She really deserved to be in there.

Tom Hanks was stunning in Sully. Wish he got a nomination.

Shocked by Amy Adams' snub, too.

Love Amy too, but Best Actress is Stacked. Who would leave out? Certainly not Nat, Emma or Isabelle or Negga

BEST ACTRESS
Isabelle Huppert, Elle
Ruth Negga, Loving
Natalie Portman, Jackie
Emma Stone, La La Land
Meryl Streep, Florence Foster Jenkins

 

Good to see Mel Gibson back

I mean, Streep was fabulous as Florence, but I thought Adams' performance was certainly worthy of taking that spot. Doesn't really matter ultimately, though, since I'm still rooting for Emma Stone to take the grand prize.

I would have left out Meryl as well.

The nominations went as expected though the Academy deviated a bit from the consensus (no Amy Adams or Hugh Grant).  Michael Shannon & Ruth Negga were no doubt in-the-mix and their inclusions are nice to see. 

I really liked the new format (announcement done with voiceovers as nominee's names appear on-screen all intertwined with past Oscar winners' remarks) & felt GMA did fantastic with coverage. (P.S. Did E! cover it?)

Very happy for Natalie's nomination, and I'm hoping she takes it. However, I still feel Jackie was overlooked in key categories - especially screenplay and Picture. It's my pick to win for Score, though, one of the only orchestral recordings I bought.

Portman was not nominated for Jackie.

I'm rather pleased, especially with Lucas Hedges's nomination for Manchester, as I thought he gave the best performance of the year.

Im not surprised by the Jackie snubs-critics went nuts but most audiences aren't feeling it and Portman's portrayal is dividing audiences. Streep didn't need a nod for Florence. Taraji or Adams deserved that slot. I would have even taken Portman's slot too to have given Taraji and Amy a slot.

Also, I'd love to have seen little Sonny Pawar from Lion nominated. He's incredible. Far better than other children nominated in the past.

I also think the Nocturnal Animals score is better than some of the others nominated.

Huh?
