The Oscar nominations are out, and as expected, Moonlight — about an African-American male’s journey from child to questioning teen to closeted adult — joined La La Land as the frontrunners in major categories.
La La Land led with a record-tying 14 nominations, followed by 8 each for Moonlight and Arrival. Hacksaw Ridge — directed by Hollywood pariah Mel Gibson — got 6, including one for Gibson himself.
The “Oscars so white” movement of last year was halted this time out, with seven of the 20 acting nominees going to people of color.
