The 89th Academy Awards nominations have been announced via live-stream, beginning today, Tuesday morning at 5:18am PST – a point of contention from film buffs on the West Coast. Alas, art as revered as 2017’s selection might be worth the sacrifice of a good night’s rest. This year’s nominations mark the industry’s most diverse pool of candidates to date, not to mention the level of artistry from this year’s performances.
The awards themselves will continue to be the season’s most coveted invitation. Piper-Heidsieck returns as the sole Champagne to be served during the ceremony and the Governors Ball, the award show’s official after-party, and the house will be serving an exclusive limited-edition magnum bottle for all guests to enjoy. Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel for the first time ever, the Academy Awards will air live on ABC Sunday, February 26th at 5:30 p.m. PST/8:30 p.m. EST. Below, this year’s exciting and momentous list of nominees. Cheers!
