The 2020 Academy Award nominations are here. They are as bland as usual, but there a few highlights.
Cynthia Erivo received a Best Actress nomination for her portrayal of Harriet Tubman in Harriet. She also earned a nomination for Best Original Song alongside Joshuah Brian Campbell for “Stand Up” in Harriet.
Erivo is now only the third person after Mary J Blige and Lady Gaga to score a nomination for acting and song in the same year. She’s also up for the coveted EGOT as she’s already won an Emmy, Grammy and Tony.
Matthew A. Cherry’s beloved Hair Love earned a nomination for Best Animated Short.
The first film produced by Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground Productions also received a nomination. American Factory, currently streaming on Netflix, earned a nom for Best Documentary.
