It was also a historic day for Cinemablographer favourite Meryl Streep, who broke her own record and landed her whopping 20th Oscar nomination with a Best Actress bid for Florence Foster Jenkins. Streep joins Jackie's Natalie Portman and Elle's Isabelle Huppert, plus frontrunner Emma Stone (La La Land) and surprise nominee Ruth Negga (Loving). In the snub heard around the Internet, Arrival's Amy Adams missed out despite a very strong showing for the film. Sometimes an omission is really all just about numbers.
More thoughts to follow, but this year's nominees are:
