The Shape Of Water led the 2018 Academy Awards nominations with 13 nods as this year’s contenders were announced in Los Angeles on Tuesday, closely followed by Dunkirk and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. In a morning of several surprise nominations and snubs, Christopher Plummer, 88, the actor who replaced disgraced Kevin Spacey at the very last minute, received a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his part in All The Money In The World. Tiffany Haddish and Andy Serkis revealed the full list live from the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater, just under six weeks before the ceremony is due to take place. The 90th annual Academy Awards will be held live from Los Angeles’ Dolby Theater on March 4, 2018 and hosted by talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. Angelina Jolie’s Cambodian drama First They Killed My Father failed to make the list of nods in the Best Foreign Language Film category.
