(AP) – After two straight years of all-white acting nominees and an overhauling of the motion picture academy, the Oscars are poised to trend in a different direction Tuesday.
Barry Jenkin’s luminous coming-of-age tale “Moonlight,” the crowd-pleasing African-American mathematician drama “Hidden Figures” and Denzel Washington’s fiery August Wilson adaption “Fences” are set to lead a notably more diverse group of contenders when nominations to the 89th Academy Awards are announced Tuesday morning.
The musical ‘La La Land’ leads Academy Award nominations with 14 bids. Damien Chazelle’s exuberant love letter to musicals ties the record 14 nods received by “All About Eve” and “Titanic.”
