The film that got the most nominations was Damien Chazelle’s La La Land, which scored 14. That ties it with Titanic and All About Eve for the most nominations in Oscar history.
On the documentary front, Ava DuVernay’s film on mass incarceration, 13th, received a nom for Best Documentary Feature. O.J.: Made in America and I Am Not Your Negro were also nominated for Best Documentary Feature.
Today’s (January 24) announcements come roughly one year after the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag went viral due to a lack of diversity from the nominees. This year’s group of nominees include six black actors, a record high.
