Who was snubbed?
Most awards buzz this Oscar season pertains to snubs in the nominations. While Saoirse Ronan and Florence Pugh were both nominated for "Little Women," the film's director, Greta Gerwig, was not. Gerwig's snub is at the center of the awards controversy over women's exclusion from the best director nominations.

Another notable snub was for Jennifer Lopez, whom many expected to get a nomination for best actress for her portrayal of Romana Vega in "Hustlers." But in classic J.Lo fashion, she moved past the snub and headlined a wildly popular halftime show with Shakira at the 2020 Super Bowl.
Who got the most nominations?
The underdog film "Joker" received the most nominations, 11, while "The Irishman," "1917" and "Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood" got 10 apiece.
Who is the host?
The Oscars will once again run hostless. Instead, a variety of presenters, including Zazie Beetz, Timothée Chalamet, Will Ferrell, Gal Gadot, Mindy Kaling, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Anthony Ramos, Mark Ruffalo, Kelly Marie Tran and Kristen Wiig, will carry the event.
Why is Billie Eilish attending?
The 2020 Grammys song of the year winner, Billie Eilish, will perform one of her songs among the other musical performances for the five original song nominees. Her song choice has yet to be confirmed, but last month it was confirmed that Eilish wrote the new "James Bond" theme song, making her the youngest songwriter to have done so.
