Movie fans are brimming with excitement after the nominations for the 97th annual Academy Awards were announced today (January 23).
The long-awaited list, which had to be delayed twice due to the Los Angeles wildfires, is being led in terms of overall nominations by Netflix’s crime musical Emilia Pérez, Bob Dylan’s biographical flick A Complete Unknown and the political thriller Conclave.
The list has been labeled as “historic” by some fans. Emilia Pérez, on one hand, is a movie touching on transgender issues with 13 nominations, a number that puts it close to critical darlings Titanic, All About Eve, and La La Land.
