You can’t see the film in Oz until tomorrow, so just nod when we tell you that Cate Blanchett’s performance in Tár has earned her an Oscar nomination for best actress. Announced overnight, she joins Aussie Catherine Martin, who received noms for best production design and best costume design for her work on Elvis. Her husband Baz Luhrmann missed out on a best director nomination for the biopic, but the film scored 7 nominations. Leading the charge is the fabulously weird flock Everything Everywhere All at Once with 11 nods. The winners will be announced on 12 March – and to get ahead, put in your diary a nomination for Dylan Alcott in 6 years’ time… As for the recognition no one in Hollywood wants, the satirical Razzie Awards have released their list of nominees. Leading the pack for worst picture and director is Marilyn Monroe ‘biopic’ Blonde (although lead actress Ana de Armas is up against Blanchett at the Oscars…). May the worst film win…
