Oscar Nominations 2018

Good morning and welcome to nominations for the 90th Academy Awards. I'm John Bailey, governor of the Cinematography branch and President of the Motion Picture Academy. This has been a remarkable year for the movies, Actors, writers, producers, directors have given us films that not only entertain but challenge us. There's been bold, adventurous work in animation, documentaries and foreign language films, visual effects, composers and sound artists, production designers, editors and cinematographers continue to raise the bar of their craft as do costumers, make-up and hair artists.
