There were a few notable omissions from the nominations.
Some promising nominees were noticeably absent from the final Oscars list, including Regina King, who received a Golden Globe nomination in February, but was snubbed in the Oscars Best Director and Best Picture noms for her feature directing debut, One Night in Miami. Though Jodie Foster was visibly surprised to win Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Mauritanian at the Globes, she did not make it into the Oscars race in the same category. Despite the eligibility of Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods, the director did not receive a nomination, nor did Delroy Lindo, who many predicted would receive his first Best Actor nomination.
