The Shape Of Water sweeps the board with 13 Academy Award nominations... while Dunkirk and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri emerge as strong Oscars contenders

Angelina Jolie was noticeably snubbed along with All Of The Money In The World star Michelle Williams and actor James Franco

Directors Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott were also missed when the 2018 nominations were announced live from Los Angeles on Tuesday 

The Shape Of Water has won a total of 13 nods, compared to eight for Dunkirk and six for fellow British wartime film Darkest Hour

Elsewhere, the film's leading actor Gary Oldman is nominated for Best Actor. This season, he has already won the Golden Globe award and the Screen Actors Guild for his role as Winston Churchill

Shock nominations included musician Mary J. Blige, who is the first person to be recognised in an acting category and a musical category in the same year

Actress Octavia Spencer also became the first black actress to get multiple follow-up Oscar nominations, following her win in 2012

Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein is this year banned from the ceremony, after being dropped as a member of the Academy 

The 90th annual Academy Awards will be held live from the Dolby Theater in LA on March 4, 2018 and hosted by talk show host Jimmy Kimmel for the second time in a row

On Wednesday, the SAG Awards announced their nominees for this year’s best performances in film and television, kicking the Oscar race into high gear.

Olivia Munn and Niecy Nash announced the nominations from the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood on Wednesday morning. In the film categories, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri led with a total of four nominations, including Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell, and Woody Harrelson, as well as a nomination for best ensemble. Award season favorites like Lady Bird, Get Out, and The Shape of Water also picked up multiple nominations.

The SAG Awards also recognized rom-com favorite The Big Sick, which was surprisingly shut out of Monday’s Golden Globe nominations. Holly Hunter scored a best supporting actress nod, while the film was also nominated for best ensemble.

Historically, the SAG Awards are the awards show that best predict the eventual Oscar nominees — especially because SAG voters most closely overlap with Academy voters. There will always be some upsets, but as a general rule, SAG’s picks for actor, actress, supporting actor, and supporting actress are a good indication of who will eventually get nominated for an Academy Award. The award for best ensemble — SAG’s version of best picture — can also help a film gain Oscar buzz: Last year, four of SAG’s five best ensemble nominees all went on to score an Oscar nom for best picture.

See the full list of nominees below.

The eventual winners will be revealed at the SAG Awards ceremony on Sunday, Jan. 21, on TNT and TBS.
