Oscars Nominations 2017: ‘La La Land’ and ‘Moonlight’ Takes the Charge!

The full list for the 89th Academy Awards has finally arrived! The members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences have decided on their picks for the films and the artists behind said films on and off the camera to have the highest recognition in this year’s Oscars. It does look like it will be an interesting race this year with, La La Land following its Golden Globes awards streak by bagging 14 nominations in the Oscars (the most nominations since Titanic and Ben-Hur) and Mel Gibson receiving his first directing nomination for Hacksaw Ridge since 1995’s Braveheart. However, a speculation such as Kimi No Nawa was nowhere to be found while Scoresese’s Silence only got one award nod for Cinematography. To see more of your favorites read on for the full list of nominees below!
