The Oscars are finally here — they're the grand finale of this awards show mosh pit, so with their arrival, we can finally relax. The Oscars mark the end of awards season. The end of speculation (which feels endless). The end of think pieces about movies. And — you know what? The Oscars will also mark the end of internet movie standom. This means the rabid worship of Call Me By Your Name and Lady Bird will become slightly less rabid. (For those of us inundated with standom on our feeds, this is a blessing.)
But mainly, the Oscars are a exercise in observing what Hollywood deems important. The ceremony is like a smoke signal for future movies, summoning the ones that would, in the future, do well at the box office. Last year, when Moonlight was nominated and eventually won the Oscar for Best Picture, we took it as a sign: Hollywood was reevaluating its priorities. (Also, Moonlight was a good movie!)

This year, the nominations race is tight. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is a favorite among voters — the Screen Actors Guild loved it, as did the HFPA — but more than a few critics have declared the movie "tone deaf." Then, there's Call Me By Your Name and Lady Bird, two movies about youth with unavoidable appeal. Phantom Thread, Daniel Day-Lewis' final movie, has been widely celebrated, but it didn't wig at the SAG Awards, so what gives?
Today, we finally find out. Below, the Oscar nominations for 2018. The full ceremony will air March 4 on ABC at 8 p.m. EST.
