Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs was joined by Academy members Demian Bichir, Dustin Lance Black, Glenn Close, Guillermo del Toro, Marcia Gay Harden, Terrence Howard, Jennifer Hudson, Brie Larson, Jason Reitman, Gabourey Sidibe and Ken Watanabe for the 89th Academy Awards nominations<\/strong> this morning.<\/p>\n

La La Land<\/strong> led the nominations with 14, which ties the record of most nominations ever with 1997\u2019s Titanic and 1950\u2019s All About Eve. Arrival<\/strong> and Moonlight<\/strong> followed with eight nominations each, and Hacksaw Ridge, Lion<\/strong>, and Manchester by the Sea<\/strong> received six each.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After last year\u2019s Oscar nominations, in which no Black actors were nominated for the second consecuitve year, changes were made within the voting system that allowed for new members. Those changes have resulted in the not one, but six Black actors\/ actresses receiving nods today, an historic occasion.<\/p>\n

With Fences’\u00a0Denzel Washington<\/strong> and Loving’s\u00a0Ruth Negga<\/strong> nominated in the Best Actor\/ Actress category, and Mahershala Ali<\/strong> (Moonlight), Viola Davis<\/strong> (Fences), Naomie Harris<\/strong> (Moonlight) and Octavia Spencer<\/strong> (Hidden Figures) getting nods in for\u00a0Best Supporting Actor\/ Actress, it marks the first time Blacks have been nominated in all 4 acting categories.<\/p>\n

\u201cFences,\u201d \u201cHidden Figures,” and \u201cMoonlight\u201d are all nominated for Best Pictures, marking the first time that 3 Black themed films have ever been nominated in this category.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Also record setting was the amount of Blacks\u00a0getting nominations (18), surpassing the 7 that came in 2009.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That includes Kimberly Steward, Pharrell Williams, Denzel Washington, Barry Jenkins, Ruth Negga, Mahershala Ali, Viola Davis, Naomie Harris, Octavia Spencer, Tarell A. McCraney, August Wilson, Joi McMillon, Bradford Young, Ava DuVernay, Ezra Edelman, Raoul Peck, Herbert Peck,<\/strong> and Roger Ross Williams<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Viola Davis –\u00a0\u00a0most nominated African-American actress with 3 nominations (Best Supporting Actress nom for Doubt, Best Actress nom for The Help).<\/p>\n

Viola Davis (\u201cFences\u201d), Naomie Harris (\u201cMoonlight\u201d) and Octavia Spencer (\u201cHidden Figures\u201d) –\u00a0First time three African-American actresses received Best Supporting Actress nominations in same year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer – Second time both\u00a0actresses have been nominated in same year but first time in same category for different films.<\/p>\n

Joi McMillon –\u00a0Second black person to be nominated for Best Editing and the First Black Female to be nominated<\/p>\n

Ezra Edelman, Ava DuVernay, Raoul Peck, Roger Ross Williams –\u00a0First time four Blacks received Best Documentary Feature nominations in same year.<\/p>\n
