The nominees for the 94th annual Academy Awards have been unveiled and LGBTQ+ stars are in the spotlight. On Tuesday morning (8 February), actors Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan announced this year’s incredible lineup of nominated productions.
LGBTQ+ hit highlights include nomination for West Side Story, Tick, Tick … Boom!, Spencer and more. However, it comes as a surprise to see House of Gucci snubbed with leading actress Lady Gaga missing out on a Best Actress nomination.
Steven Spielberg’s cinematic musical adaptation of West Side Story has raked in the award nominations. The film has snagged up seven nominations including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actress for Ariana DeBose.
Despite not landing nominations for this year’s BAFTA’s, both Kristen Stewart and Andrew Garfield have been rightly recognised for the Oscars.
