The wait is over.
The wait is over! The 2018 Oscar nominations are here, to make you feel bad about all those movies you never quite got around to seeing.
Leading the pack is The Shape of Water with an impressive 13 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director (Guillermo del Toro), Best Actress (Sally Hawkins), Best Supporting Actress (Octavia Spencer) and Best Supporting Actor (Richard Jenkins).
Considered by many to be the Best Picture favourite, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri earned seven nominations, including Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay (Martin McDonagh), Best Actress (Frances McDormand) and two for Best Supporting Actor (Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell).
Rounding out the Best Picture category are Call Me By Your Name, Darkest Hour, Dunkirk, Get Out, Phantom Thread, Lady Bird and The Post.
In the acting categories, Hawkins and McDormand will go up against Margot Robbie (I, Tonya), Saoirse Ronan, (Lady Bird) and — of course — Meryl Streep (The Post) for Best Actress, while Timothée Chalamet, (Call Me by Your Name), Daniel Day-Lewis (Phantom Thread), Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out), Gary Oldman (Darkest Hour) and Denzel Washington (Roman J. Israel, Esq) scored noms for Best Actor.

Notable snubs include McDonagh for Best Director, James Franco (The Disaster Artist) for Best Actor and Wonder Woman for… literally anything.
On the plus side, Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) has become the first woman to score a Best Director nomination since Kathryn Bigelow in 2010, while Jordan Peele (Get Out) becomes just the fifth black filmmaker nominated in the same category. Meanwhile, Rachel Morrison (Mudbound) is the first woman ever to be nominated for Best Cinematography.
But the biggest story? The Boss Baby is now an Oscar nominated film. And rightfully so.
The 2018 Oscar ceremony will be held on March 4. Jimmy Kimmel is hosting, because apparently they didn’t learn anything from last year.
