And that’s it for the Oscar nominations liveblog. Check out theguardian.com/film later for our special episode of The Dailies, in which Catherine, Ben and Henry will be screaming “WHERE’S THE LEGO MOVIE?!?!” a lot (that joke, brought to you courtesy of 2015).
The 88th academy awards will take place on 28 February. Join us for a night of glitz, glamour and gastroenteritis after - befuddled by a night of feverish typing - we use the break afforded by the in memorium section to pounce on a sweaty cheeseboard. See you then!
A quick run down of what’s nominated for what here, in the form of very pretty pictures:
And now for the real news! Which giant media company gets to slap itself on the back the hardest for gathering the most nominations? And the reddest, rawest backs belong to ... the executives at Fox, which has picked up loads of noms for The Martian, Joy and The Revenant. How delightful!
Nothing for Netflix, nor Amazon Studios. Our lofty predictions about 2015 being the year streaming won over the establishment were way off the mark.
It’s an ever so white year again! Nothing for Idris Elba, who was a hot favourite for best supporting actor or Will Smith or Michael B Jordan who were potential best actor nominees.
Plus Straight Outta Compton was denied a best picture nomination.
Twitter isn’t happy:
It’s over! It’s good news for The Revenant with 12, Mad Max: Fury Road with 10 and The Martian on 7.
Surprising snubs for Carol, which lost out on a best picture slot, and Idris Elba, who didn’t get a nomination for best supporting actor.
Surprising inclusions are Tom Hardy for The Revenant and Lenny Abrahamson for best director for Room.
Early surprises: two animated feature films that have flown under the radar. Boy and the Wild and When Marnie Was There haven’t been talked about much, but are next to bigger films such as Inside Out and Anomalisa.
Bad news for The Good Dinosaur.
