The 89th annual Academy Award nominations were announced Tuesday, January 24, honoring the best films of 2016 as chosen by members of the film industry. The awards themselves will be held Sunday, February 26. The broadcast airs on ABC at 8:30 pm Eastern.

This year’s nominations are led by the musical La La Land, whose 14 nominations tie it for the record for most nominations for a single film, currently held by 1997’s Titanic and 1950’s All About Eve. It’s followed by sci-fi drama Arrival and the sensitive coming-of-age story Moonlight, both with eight nominations. War film Hacksaw Ridge, “based on a true story” drama Lion, and the grief-stricken Manchester by the Sea have six nominations apiece.

I know all the arguments (many of them valid) against the Oscars but I still like the pomp and circumstance of the show and the discussions about the movies.
