The cheery sequel to the 1964 original earned four nominations in all: best picture for a musical or comedy, best actress for Emily Blunt, best actor for Lin-Manuel Miranda, and best score. But surprisingly, Mary Poppins was left out of the best original song category, one where it was expected to triumph.

Bradley Cooper’s drama tied for the second-most nominations this year with five — including best drama, best actress for Lady Gaga, and best director and best actor for Cooper. But Sam Elliott, who plays the deep-voiced brother of singer Jackson Maine, was a surprising oversight.

As a contender for best foreign language film, Alfonso Cuaron’s black-and-white drama was ineligible for best drama. But what was surprising was the lack of love for star Yalitza Aparicio, a first-time actress who delivered a deeply moving performance as a domestic worker in 1970s Mexico.

Ironically, John Krasinski’s horror film about a lack of sound picked up only one nomination — for best original score. Krasinski was left out of the director’s race, while star Emily Blunt picked up a nomination for Mary Poppins Returns instead.
