The Oscars will be awarded on Feb. 26 in a ceremony at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
Of interest, the list of nominations for the 2017 Academy Awards, which cover movies released in 2016, makes clear this will not be a third year in a row in which all 20 of the nominated actors and actresses are white people — thus averting another year of online jeers and sneers of #OscarsSoWhite.
The list of acting nominees includes a black actor and an Asian actor — Mahershala Ali (Moonlight), who is African American, and Dev Patel (Lion), who is British of Indian descent — nominated in the best supporting actor category. And three of the best supporting actress nominees are black: Viola Davis (Fences), Naomie Harris (Moonlight) and Octavia Spencer (Hidden Figures). Catch more scoop at USA Today.
