The 2019 Oscar Nominations Were Announced Earlier Than Ever, And Here's The Tea

If you didn't know, the Oscar Nominations were announced early on Tuesday, January 22nd by Kumail Nanjiani and Tracee Ellis Ross. The Oscars will most likely be held this year without a host, something that hasn't happened since 1989, on February 24.

The Academy has yet to announce its plans, although there have been lots of speculations including a Marvel round of hosts presenting.

"Black Panther" made history as the first superhero movie nominated for Best Picture and has a total of seven nominations. "Roma" was nominated for Best Picture, something rarely accomplished by a Foreign Film, and received 10 nominations in total. Spike Lee received a nomination for Best Director for the first time. "The Favourites" leads, along with "Roma" for most nominations with 10.

Emily Blunt wasn't nominated for "Mary Poppins," Bradley Cooper was not nominated for Best Director, "If Beale Street Could Talk" did not receive a Best Picture Nomination, "Eighth Grade" received no nominations, and "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" also received no nominations.

Personally, I feel like the most talked about films ended up not being as nominated as predicted such as "A Star Is Born" (which hasn't done as well this award season as predicted).

This award season has felt a little different with unpredictable wins at the Emmys and Golden Globes and some expected nominations being "snubbed." So maybe this year, it will be even harder to predict the winners especially Best Picture, which in recent years has gone against predictions.

Now if you are looking for a little help in predicting Best Picture, most years, the Producers Guild of America Awards helps predict the Oscar winners. On January 18, "Green Book" was awarded Best Film.

So time will tell if "Green Book," which also won the Golden Globe, will come out as the Best Picture. But it might be the best bet.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
