BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - The Latest on the announcement of nominees for the 91st annual Academy Awards, which are being announced Tuesday by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills, California (all times local):
8:50 a.m.
The 2019 Oscar nominations are full of surprises and some downright stupefying snubs.
“A Star Is Born” and “Black Panther” have both picked up a handful of prestigious nominations, including for best picture, but both Bradley Cooper and Ryan Coogler were passed over for directing nominations.
The presumed documentary front-runner “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” also came up empty handed Tuesday, as did the long-shot indie “Eighth Grade” and “Mary Poppins Returns” star Emily Blunt.
