The Oscar nominees for 2017 are out!<\/a><\/p>\n

Keep in mind that awards are political and determined by the arbitrary makeup of whichever group is voting for them. That said, this year’s nominations already seem richer and more varied than usual. There’s far greater diversity<\/a>, led not just by Moonlight<\/i> and the recent hit Hidden Figures<\/i> but across the board in acting and production categories. Most shocking for us, at least, was the Best Documentary nomination for O.J.: Made in America<\/i>, the first Oscar nod for ESPN Films.<\/p>\n

As always happens, most of the Oscar nominees were released late last year. You’ll have to go to the theaters to see La La Land<\/i>, but we have a few of the nominated films available to check out.<\/p>\n
