Lee's Vietnam War film "Da 5 Bloods," which is
vying for the top movie honor at the upcoming Screen Actors
Guild awards, was nearly absent from this year's Oscar nominees.
It earned one Academy Award nomination for best original score.
King's directorial debut, "One Night in Miami," earned three
nominations, including best supporting actor for Leslie Odom Jr.
and best screenplay. But King was not nominated as a director,
and the movie about a meeting between Black civil rights leaders
in 1964 did not make the best picture list.
The five nominated directors included Chloé Zhao for "Nomadland,"
the story of modern van dwellers in recession-era America, and
Emerald Fennell for her first film, the #MeToo revenge drama
"Promising Young Woman." In an unexpected choice, voters added
Thomas Vinterberg to the mix for Danish film "Another Round."
Among actors, Lakeith Stanfield was a surprise supporting actor
nominee for his role as an FBI informant who betrays Black
Panther Party leader Fred Hampton in "Judas and the Black
Messiah."
Glenn Close was nominated for supporting actress for "Hillbilly
Elegy," a tale of poverty in the U.S. Midwest, though the film
itself was widely panned.
Academy voters did not recognize Emmy winner Zendaya's
critically praised role in "Malcolm & Marie," a drama about a
quarreling couple.
And two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks, an Academy favorite, failed
to win support for his portrayal as a Civil War veteran in "News
of the World." The movie landed four nominations in technical
categories.
