The Oscar nominations were announced early Tuesday morning and there are already a few noticeable surprises along with a few snubs. The Favourite and Roma led the way with 10 nominations each, followed by A Star is Born and Vice with 8 and Black Panther with 7.

In this post, I list out all of the nominees with no real outlook on who will win. I also look back on my prediction posts to see how close I came to picking the right nominees (I think I did pretty well with most of the categories.

Keep your eyes here over the coming days for more Oscar coverage including the opportunity to vote for who you think will take home the statuettes in February!

The categories are listed below in alphabetical order. An asterisk (*) next to the nomination indicates a correct prediction made by The Oscar Project. Overall I correctly predicted 86 nominees out of the total 121 nominations across 24 categories (71.07%).
