FEINBERG FORECAST
BEST PICTURE
Marriage Story
Noah Baumbach landed pic and
original screenplay Oscar nominations
to go with three acting noms and one
for original score, and his film was
toasted at a Jan. 15 BAFTA/PGA event,
while stars Adam Driver and Scarlett
Johansson were feted at the Santa
Barbara Film Festival on Jan. 17.
DOCUMENTARY FEATURE/
INTERNATIONAL FEATURE
Honeyland
North Macedonia celebrated when
Ta m a r a Ko t e v s k a a n d L j u b o m i r
Stefanov’s film about one of the last
beekeepers in the region, which
won three prizes at Sundance, became
the first ever nominated for both
doc feature and international feature.
Uncut Gems
The Safdie brothers’ diamond district
drama was shut out of the Oscar noms
— with not even a film editing nod —
prompting star Adam Sandler to tweet:
“Bad news: Sandman gets no love from
the Academy. Good news: Sandman can
stop wearing suits.”
DOCUMENTARY FEATURE
The Cave
Despite visa problems caused by the
Trump administration that prevented
him from campaigning like other short-
listed filmmakers, Feras Fayyad is a
nominee in this category for the second
time in three years, for a film about
a female doctor in a Syrian hospital.
INTERNATIONAL FEATURE
Atlantics
This haunting Netflix-distributed
film from Mati Diop — who became
the first black female director
ever to premiere a film in the main
lineup at Cannes (where it won
the Grand Prix) — missed out on
its chance to become Senegal’s first-
ever Oscar nominee.
Pain and Glory
A Pedro Almodóvar film is an Oscar
nominee for the third time in this cat-
egory after 1988’s Women on the Verge
of a Nervous Breakdown and 1999’s
All About My Mother, the latter of which
won. Star Antonio Banderas also is
nominated for best actor.
