Academy Awards
The Nominations For The 92nd Oscars Are Here – JOKER Leads With 11 And ST. LOUIS SUPERMAN Receives A Nod For Short Subject
The nominations for the 92nd Academy Awards were announced this morning live from the David Geffen Theater at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
JOKER received the most nominations with 11. The Irishman, 1917 and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood each got 10 nominations. Meanwhile, Jojo Rabbit, Little Women, Marriage Story and Parasite each earned six noms.
Among the five nominated films for best documentary short subject is ST. LOUIS SUPERMAN, from MTV Documentary Films and directed by Smriti Mundhra and Sami Khan. It won Best Local short at the St. Louis International Film Festival in November.
Bruce Franks Jr. is a 34-year-old battle rapper, leading Ferguson activist and state representative from St. Louis, Missouri. Known as Superman to his constituents, he’s a political figure the likes of which you’ve never seen — full of contradictions and deep insights, who has overcome unspeakable loss to become one of the most dynamic and unapologetic young leaders in the country.
This verite documentary follows Bruce at a critical juncture in his life. He’s forced to deal with the mental trauma he’s been carrying for nearly 30 years, ever since his 9-year-old brother was shot and killed in front of him. Only by confronting his pain can Bruce find peace and truly fulfill his destiny as a leader for his community.
Also of note out of St. Louis is the Animated Short that was produced locally by Lion Forge Animation, HAIR LOVE. An an animated short film from Matthew A. Cherry, the film tells the heartfelt story of an African American father learning to do his daughter’s hair for the first time.
The project is a collaboration with Sony Pictures Animation that was launched as a Kickstarter campaign in 2017 with a fundraising goal of $75,000. Strong support led to the campaign amassing nearly $300,000, making it the most highly-funded short film campaign in Kickstarter history.
Academy members from each of the 17 branches vote to determine the nominees in their respective categories – actors nominate actors, film editors nominate film editors, etc. In the Animated Feature Film and International Feature Film categories, nominees are selected by a vote of multi-branch screening committees. All voting members are eligible to select the Best Picture nominees.
The Oscars will air Sunday, February 9, live on ABC at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.
