Oscar Nominations announced! ‘Joker’ leads the way

The Golden Globes have come and gone. Now it is time for the Academy Awards. For the second year in a row, the Oscars will go hostless. Unlike the Globes, the Academy is strictly for movies. Joker leads the way with eleven nominations. The event will be held on Sunday, February 9. AIPT will have plenty of Oscar coverage until then.
