Cheddar Breaks Down the 2018 Oscar Noms

#MeToo is had its own moment at the 90th annual Academy Awards. Actress Frances McDormand earned an Oscar for Best Actress in a leading role, and during her speech she emphasized the importance of diversity and inclusion. She also asked other female nominees in the room to stand up in solidarity. Entertainment Weekly's Senior Editor Katie Hasty explains the significance of this moment.

In the end, Netflix's full-court, $25 million Oscar press couldn't quite overcome the Academy's current preference for feel-good, didactic storytelling. "Green Book," a movie based on the true story of a famous black pianist's bond with his white driver as they traverse the Jim Crow south, may have drawn controversy among critics, but it nevertheless gathered statues through award season, culminating in a Best Picture win on Sunday night at the 91st Academy Awards.

What had been a pretty controversial run-up to the 91st Annual Academy Awards -- one that resulted in no host and some nominees that came under fire -- ultimately resulted in a pretty tame ceremony. While the 2019 Oscars may be remembered for their diversity of winners...and a memorable Lady Gaga/Bradley Cooper duet...Cheddar's Max Godnick says there's little else that will stand out in the years to come.
