The Latest: Michael Shannon has 'cool' response to Oscar nom

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - The latest on the 89th annual Oscar nominations announced Tuesday by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences from Beverly Hills, California (all times local):

8:20 a.m.

Michael Shannon says his manager is the one who did the screaming Tuesday after learning the actor was nominated for an Oscar.

Shannon was nominated for best supporting actor for his role in "Nocturnal Animals" and is currently in Newcastle, England, working on his next film. He says his manager's hoots and hollers on the other end of the telephone alerted him to the honor. Shannon says his reaction was, "Oh, cool."

The actor is doing rehearsals on Tuesday, and says he probably won't get a chance to reflect on his second Oscar nomination until late in the day.

But he says he is honored by the recognition considering that so many peers he respects voted to nominate him. He says, "It's hard not to be flattered by that, I guess."

Seven is the magic number of first-time Oscar acting nominees.

The film academy gave seven actors their first acting Oscar nominations for a variety of performances, from Andrew Garfield's portrayal of a pacifist World War II medic in "Hacksaw Ridge" to Ruth Negga's performance in "Loving" as a woman fighting racial prejudice in the Deep South.

Other first-time acting nominees include Mahershala Ali and Naomie Harris for "Moonlight," Lucas Hedges for "Manchester by the Sea," Dev Patel for "Lion," and Isabelle Huppert for "Elle."

Several Oscar favorites, including previous winners Denzel Washington and Jeff Bridges, were also nominated.

And so too was Meryl Streep, who extended her edge as the most nominated performer in Oscars history with her 20th nomination for "Florence Foster Jenkins."

The candy-colored love letter to musicals "La La Land" has landed a record-tying 14 Academy Awards nominations, matching it with "Titanic" and "All About Eve" for most nominations ever.

"La La Land" has earned nods for best picture, its stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, its songs and its 32-year-old writer-director, Damien Chazelle.

The other nominees for best picture are: "Moonlight," ''Arrival," ''Manchester by the Sea," ''Hell or High Water," ''Lion," ''Fences," ''Hidden Figures" and "Hacksaw Ridge."

Following two years of "OscarsSoWhite" furor, the Academy of Motion Pictures fielded a notably more diverse field of nominees, led by Barry Jenkins' luminous coming-of-age portrait "Moonlight," Denzel Washington's "Fences" and Theodore Melfi's "Hidden Figures."

Final preparations are underway for the announcement of this year's Oscar nominees, which are expected to offer more diversity after two years of the "Oscars So White" backlash.

Jennifer Hudson and Brie Larson are among the previous Oscar winners who will announce this year's slate of nominees around 5:20 a.m. The films "La La Land," ''Moonlight" and "Manchester by the Sea" are among this season's front-runners, including for best picture.

Departing from a decades-old practice, the nominations won't be announced before a live audience of reporters, publicists and academy officials. Instead, the reveal will come during a closed program fed live to Oscars.org and "Good Morning America."

The 89th Annual Academy Awards will be presented in a Feb. 26 ceremony hosted by comedian Jimmy Kimmel and aired live on ABC.

After two straight years of all-white acting nominees and an overhauling of the motion picture academy, the Oscars are poised to trend in a different direction Tuesday.

Barry Jenkin's luminous coming-of-age tale "Moonlight," the crowd-pleasing African-American mathematician drama "Hidden Figures" and Denzel Washington's fiery August Wilson adaption "Fences" are set to lead a notably more diverse group of contenders when nominations to the 89th Academy Awards are announced Tuesday morning beginning at 8:18 a.m. EST.

One of the morning's big questions is just how many nominations "La La Land" will land. Damien Chazelle's exuberant love letter to musicals is expected to lead all films and could rival the record 14 nods received by "All About Eve" and "Titanic."
