Oscars 2019: Academy Award Nominations Stun (Slightly)

Oscars 2019: Academy Award Nominations Stun (Slightly)
It’s that time of year again! The Academy has released their nominations for the 91st Annual Academy Awards, which will air Feb. 24, 2019 . While “A Star is Born” was expected to sweep numerous categories, the nominations prove to be a little different. Marvel gets to say that one of their films is recognized on Hollywood’s biggest night. Meanwhile, Netflix can finally boast that they are a real contender for awards show gold.
With no announced hosts to present the show, this year’s Academy Awards will likely be the victim of the usual farce and disappointment.
