I'm more disappointed for Timothee but the film doesn't have the buzz that some of the other nominees have sadly. Emily was never going to get a nomination in that category, it was too tough.

Timothee is a shock omission though. Seems like Sam Elliott sneaked the nomination from Timothee for 'A Star is Born'. He could end up winning it, the Academy love someone like him.

Only one song from A Star is Born and one from Mary Poppins - no split votes for them to worry about, so it will be interesting to see who takes it (I expect it will be ASIB).
No real surprises in Best Actor. Slightly surprised Emily Blunt misses out entirely, but Roma has momentum and Poppins doesn't, and there's plenty to dislike about Blunt's performance too.
Shocked Bradley Cooper misses out on a Best Director nod.

I think Best Picture will be going to Roma...

I am not sure that The Favourite is going to win much outside of the creative side of things. It would be great if it did, but in most categories, it seems to be up against contenders with greater momentum. So most nominations but few actual trophies. But we shall see.

Right so let's look into this.
The three big snubs for me that immediately stand out are Timothée, Emily and Bradley for Director. Especially Emily, but that's mainly because I feel she has been long overdue a first nomination, and she has two Oscar-worthy performances and they opt to not put her there.
I think Roma is locked in to win now. Bradley Cooper's snub has sealed that fate.
I'm surprised at the amount of Black Panther nominations, but maybe that's just me.
Shocked but thrilled at the love for Bohemian Rhapsody and The Favourite, but am stunned Rhapsody got into Best Picture. Not that I'm complaining, but stunned!
Glad Mary Poppins Returns and A Star is Born got a good amount of love, and that Sam Elliott got in even if at the expense of Timothée although from what I've heard Sam Rockwell is the one who shouldn't really be in that catagory.
Very mixed feelings this year.

Mary Queen of Scots got shut out completely. Animation wise, it should go to Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse.
I think Bradley Cooper getting best actor nom will sweeten not getting nominated for best director but he’ll have other opportunities which might be the Academy’s thinking
Stan and Ollie got no nominations either although having seen the film, it’s good but it’s not a very showy film

A Star is Born was never going to win Best Picture, Bradley not getting nominated for director has nothing to do with its chances there. If it isn't Roma then Green Book is the next most likely, but it certainly seems like it will be Roma.

I actually think Bradley Cooper not getting a Director nomination is the biggest snub of that lot. Emily Blunt was always the long shot for Best Actress (there was never going to be a nomination for Supporting Actress) so I can't help but think that as much as I liked her in Poppins (and I like her generally) it's not really a snub that she didn't get a nomination. I also don't really think she's given a performance before this that warranted a nomination so I don't think she's overdue one either at the moment.

Sorry to see no Toni Collette for Hereditary.
Pleased for Olivia C and Richard E Grant.

Bale, Ali, Close and Adams probably have the acting awards already sewn up.
I suspect Roma will walk off with best picture and they'll give director to Lee.

Regina King has it in the bag with Supporting Actress as of right now, but SAG may tell a very different story and push Amy out front. I'd love to see her win.

I think only Ali has it sewn up in the slightest, and even then Sam Eliott might snatch it. The rest of the acting categories are clear two-horse races: Bale/Malek, Close/Colman and Adams/King. None of them easy to call at all yet, though the SAG awards are this weekend so things might change then in the first two (King inexplicably isn't even nominated so Supporting Actress won't be any clearer).

I'm sad at how little love If Beale Street Could Talk has had - it's a fantastic film. Fingers crossed for Regina King!

If Beale Street could Talk not getting a best picture nomination was a surprise but I wonder if the Academy felt due to Black Panther and Green Book, they didn’t want a third African American based film

OK does it make it sound better if I say I'm shocked Timothée and Bradley were snubbed because they have been nominated everywhere else and their work is worthy? ... but Emily though. 😭😭

That one scene in the car was devastating. The Academy really do love to give an award to someone like him, respected and well liked actor who has been in the business for decades and never had a nomination. I had Mahershala Ali down as the winner for this category (and he's pretty much cleaned up so far this awards season) but I do think if anyone is going to sneak it away, it could be Elliott. As for the rest, I think it's Christian Bale, Glenn Close and Regina King. There would be uproar if it was an all-white clean sweep again so I really don't think Amy Adams will win over Regina King plus King is supposed to be absolutely glorious in the film anyway so it would be well deserved. I think Amy Adams may end up being one of those eternal losers at the Oscars despite multiple nominations.

I really enjoyed BP but I agree it’s not Best Picture material, I think Beale Street should have got that nomination instead of it or Bohemian Rhapsody

I guess that 'Blank Panther' is also very much a landmark movie though so that probably helped it's journey to a nomination.

Delighted about Mary, Queen Of Scots's nomination for hair and make-up, it's nice to see James McArdle's beard being officially recognised by the academy.
Not super impressed with the rest of the nominations though, it all seems a bit... bland overall, though at least Black Panther and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse are getting some props. (I'm not a major Marvel fan, but these two are going an awfully long way towards justifying the absolute abundance of superhero flicks we're currently suffering from.)
