Although moments from the Golden Globes are still making headlines, it's award season and the show must go on. On Thursday morning (Jan. 14), the official nominations were announced for the 88th Annual Academy Awards. The list is compiled of A-list Hollywood contenders and box-office hits including Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant, Brie Larson, Room, and more.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences' Samuel Goldwyn Theatre in Beverly Hills held a two-part conference to reveal the big names. Actor John Krasinski, directors Guillermo Del Toro and Ang Lee, and Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs hit the stage to disclose the nominations.
The Oscars will honor actors, directors, sound mixers, costume directors, musicians, cinematographers, animators, screenwriters, producers, visual effect editors, makeup artists, and others who have contributed to the creation of films released in 2015.
Comedian Chris Rock is expected to host the award ceremony. This will be the 50-year-old SNL alumni's second time gracing the microphone for the Oscars. Rock hosted back in 2005 at the 77th Annual Academy Awards and was asked to return after delivering a noteworthy performance.
Iñárritu's The Revenant leads the way with a whopping 12 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Cinematography. Rumors have been swirling in the media surrounding DiCaprio's high chance of winning his first Oscar this year. Fellow co-star Tom Hardy is also nominated for his work in the film and if awarded, it will also be his first Oscar win.
The 2016 Oscars are scheduled to take place on Sunday (Feb. 28) at the Dolby Theater at Hollywood & Highland Center. The ceremony will be broadcast in more than 225 countries and territories around the world. Catch the live televised event at 7 p.m. ET on ABC.
