See All Of The 2017 Oscars Nominees
Airing live on Sunday, February 26, the Academy Awards will reward all of the year's most compelling, exciting, and fantastic actors, actresses, and individuals for their work in front of and behind the silver screen. Though the awards-show race is already well underway, the 2017 Oscars nominees list holds lots of promise for the actors and actresses fans adore most. From fan-favorites Denzel Washington, Emma Stone, and Viola Davis, to the groundbreaking and incredible performances from Ruth Negga, Janelle Monae, and Dev Patel, this year's Oscars hopefuls have shown depth, breadth, and sheer talent.
As president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Cheryl Boone Isaacs will announce the full list of nominees for this year's show. Joined on stage by Jennifer Hudson, Brie Larson, the threesome (who may also be joined by other past Oscar winners) will announce the top contenders. In the Best Film category, early predictions have La La Land taking home top honors, but many believe that Hidden Figures, Moonlight, or Lion could unseat the film and take home the Academy Award instead. Of course, it'll be a showdown in the Best Actress category — Natalie Portman's performance in Jackie, as well as Viola Davis' depth in Fences have had critics speculating for months — but after this morning's livestream, we'll officially know who's in the running.
