Here Are Your Nominees For The 97th Academy Awards

The ongoing Los Angeles wildfires continue to rage, but the show must go on. In this case, that show happens to be the 97th annual Academy Awards, which will take place on Sunday, March 2 and will be hosted by Conan O’Brien. And if this ceremony is like the Globes, there could be a distinct lack of chaos unless Vin Diesel and The Rock smack each other with their eyes again.

This year’s crop of nominees draw strong representation from The Brutalist, Emilia Pérez, Wicked, Conclave, A Complete Unknown, and Anora. Also, do not count out Sebastian Stan for an acting win after his Globe victory and twin nods (for The Apprentice and A Different Man). Dude has been swerving outside the Marvel box for over a decade, and it might be his time. Additionally, the awards telecast will bypass Best Original Song performances with no word on whether that will affect the customary 3+ hour ceremony runtime.
