- an act of rebuffing or ignoring someone or something."the move was a snub to the government"
No women have been nominated for best director. That means that over the past 10 years, 49 out of the 50 best director nominees have been men.
Nineteen of the 20 acting nominees this year are white - the highest number since the #OscarsSoWhite outcries of 2015 and 2016, when there was a total whitewash.
If Erivo does win, she will become only the second black best actress winner - after Halle Berry in 2002.
Jennifer Lopez won't make it from "the block" (that's somewhere in the Bronx) to Hollywood Boulevard on Oscars night.
She had been among the favourites to be nominated for best supporting actress for Hustlers, the true story of a ring of women who drugged and swindled rich men at strip clubs.
Not only have the Oscars missed the chance to get Jennifer Lopez on the red carpet, but they have also passed up the opportunity to give Beyonce a ticket.
She was thought likely to be in the running for best song for Spirit from The Lion King, but it was not to be.
That category also contained a hope for a song called Glasgow, sung by rising Irish star Jessie Buckley in Wild Rose. That too was shut out. But she'll surely get to the Oscars in an acting capacity before too long.
In the best supporting actor category, the average age of the nominees is 71. Brad Pitt is the baby at 56, and will go up against Hanks (63), Joe Pesci (76), Al Pacino (79) and Sir Anthony (82).
