The Academy announced its annual list of Oscar nominations

The Academy announced its annual list of Oscar nominations, writes Entertainment.

In a monumental surprise, while Jessica Chastain (The Eyes of Tammy Faye) and Olivia Colman (The Lost Daughter) continued their nominations streak through to Oscar nominations, House of Gucci star Lady Gaga — the only actor of the season to be nominated at the BAFTA Awards, Critics Choice Awards, SAG, and the Golden Globes — was snubbed by the Academy. Penélope Cruz (Parallel Mothers) likely took the category’s fifth slot instead.

On the supporting side, the Academy also left Belfast actress Caitríona Balfe out of her respective category, while Jessie Buckley (The Lost Daughter) and Judi Dench (also from Belfast) managed to sneak in over her and, presumably, fellow precursor juggernaut Ruth Negga (Passing).
