00:00 2017 Oscar nomination list is out and it should come as no surprise at all that
00:04 La La Land has a record equaling 14 nominations. Meaning that the last time a
00:09 movie got 14 Oscar noms was in 1997 for Titanic and 1954 all about Eve.
00:16 "Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night."
00:20 And this also might be a historic moment because Emma Stone actually comes from the reality TV world.
00:26 Yes this is true. She actually starred in a 2004 VH1 show called The New Partridge Family.
00:31 I know! I was surprised myself.
00:33 And this year features a far more diverse list of nominees as Oscar joins the 21st century.
00:38 It's about time.
00:39 Including performers like Viola Davis, Dev Patel, Octavia Spencer and of course Denzel Washington.
00:45 But according to a release from the multi-ethnic media coalition, they are actually disappointed by the lack of ethnic diversity.
00:52 As only one in five out of the three top categories, Best Actress, Best Actor and Best Director, are represented by minorities.
00:59 And no surprise here, Meryl Streep has been nominated again for Best Actress for Florence Foster Jenkins.
01:04 Bringing her all-time nomination total to 20.
01:07 All the things that are clearly the mark of an overrated performer.
01:10 So what did you think about this year's nominations? Who was left out?
01:14 And will La La Land make history? Let us know in the comments below.
