米国アカデミー賞ノミネーション作品発表！オスカー候補は誰の手に？？
昨日日本時間15日夜youtubeのストリーミング配信にて米国アカデミー賞ノミネーション作品発表が行われました！（https://youtu.be/DW4LtP33M2E）
長編ではジブリの『思い出のマーニー』が長編アニメーション部門にノミネート、常連のジェニファー・ローレンス、『ラブリー・ボーン』のシアーシャ・ローナンもがノミネートされだれが受賞するのか気になるところです。またレオナルドディカプリオが、主演男優賞にノミネートされ悲願の受賞なるか世界が注目しているところですね。
さてさて、短編はというと？
アニメーションでは、WE CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT COSMOSがノミネート。 同じ監督の以前の作品である『The God』をシアターで上映しました。
