Academy Award Nominations 2020: The Full List

Joker Director Todd Phillips May Have the Last Laugh

Early this morning, actors John Cho and Issa Rae put on their morning show host faces to announce the 2020 Oscar nominations.

There weren’t many surprises as the charmingly awkward duo listed the nominations for the 92nd annual Academy Awards. Martin Scorsese’s gangster epic, The Irishman, Quentin Tarantino’s paean to the past, Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood, and Todd Phillips’ twisted supervillain origin story, Joker, all did well, racking up multiple nominations in the most prestigious categories.

The noteworthy stories today are the lack of representation by a woman in the Best Director category *cough cough Greta Gerwig,* as well as whether the Academy will support Netflix’s nominees. The General consensus is that Marriage Story and The Irishman are superior to 1917, the film that won Best Picture at the Golden Globes. The Globes are known for making screwball picks, but there is an understanding among the film community that by voting for 1917, voters were actively snubbing Netflix.

It’s notable that Joker racked up 11 nominations. Joker stirred up a torrent of backlash before it even arrived in theatres, with many claiming the film glorified incel culture and would inspire acts of violence. The Academy doesn’t do comic book movies (they infamously snubbed Christopher Nolan’s 2008 masterpiece, The Dark Knight), and it will be interesting to see if they’re willing to vote for a film about Gotham’s Clown Prince of Crime. Joker’s cinematography and production design are certainly Oscar-worthy, and Joaquin Phoenix’s knockout performance is undeniable, but it remains to be seen if voters will give the film a fair shake in the Best Film category.
