2019’s Oscar Nominations Announcement took place on Tuesday, January 22, 2019. The 91st Oscars will air live on ABC on Sunday, February 24, 2019. GLAAD president Sarah Kate Ellis noted that more than half of the best picture nominees — including A Star Is Born, Bohemian Rhapsody, Green Book, The Favourite and Vice — involve LGBTQ themes and narratives. For GLAAD, which counts the number of LGBTQ characters in releases from the seven largest film studios in its annual Studio Responsibility Index, this recognition seems to signal a move in the right direction. And now, let’s contemplate the list taken directly from oscars.org!

The End
It’s hard for me to have any comment now, since I haven’t watched the movies, except for Bohemian Rhapsody and BlacKkKlansman. I want to have the patience for the rest of them, but mostly I need to watch Vice because I have the feeling that Bale makes a great duo with Sam Rockwell.
