The Academy Awards are finally here. This is your Oscars form guide
The 89th Academy Awards are finally upon us and for many the biggest question is whether La La Land will live up to its hype, and will the Aussie entries come home with a statue.
La La Land goes into Monday’s Oscars with a record-equalling 14 nominations, while Australian drama Lion has six.
Nicole Kidman has her fourth Oscar nomination, and Mel Gibson makes his return to the Hollywood inner circle with Hacksaw Ridge.
In a notably diverse field, La La Land is up for for Best Picture, stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, its music, and its writer-director Damien Chazelle.
The other nominees for Best Picture are Moonlight, Arrival, Manchester by the Sea, Hell or High Water, Lion, Fences, Hidden Figures and Hacksaw Ridge.
Moonlight tied with Denis Villeneuve’s cerebral science fiction thriller Arrival for second-most nominees, with eight each.
Australian drama film Lion, the feature debut of BAFTA and Emmy-nominated director Garth Davis, scooped up six nominations.
Kidman and Dev Patel were nominated for Best Supporting Actress and Actor in the film, based on the autobiographical A Long Way Home.
Lion also scored nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography and Best Original Score, in addition to the coveted Best Picture nomination.
One of the biggest surprises was the strong boost of support for honorary Aussie Gibson, who had long been shunned in Hollywood.
Not only did his World War II drama Hacksaw Ridge land a Best Picture nod, but Gibson scored an unexpected Best Director nomination.
