With multiple nominations for actors and filmmakers of color, the two-year #OscarsSoWhite streak has finally been broken.
"Moonlight"
led the pack of films of color with 8 nominations, earning a best
picture nod among favorites like "La La Land" and "Manchester by the
Sea."
Marhershala Ali and Naomie Harris received nominations for best actor and actress in a supporting role, respectively.
"Moonlight" also received nods for best
cinematography, best film editing by Nat Sanders and Joi McMillon
(McMillon becomes the first African-American woman to be recognized by
the Academy for editing), best original score by Nicholas Brittel, best
adapted screenplay by Barry Jenkins - with story by Tarell Alvin
McCraney.
"Moonlight" was written three years ago, but as Jenkins put it, "it's arrived right on time."
