I was up early as usual and excited to find out the nominations for the 91st Academy Awards. I watched the livestream with “The Big Sick” Oscar nominee Kumail Nanjiani and “Black-ish” Emmy nominee Tracee Ellis Ross, who were really awesome announcers.

I’m excited because my friends at the Walt Disney Studios received 17 Oscar nominations for: Mary Poppins Returns, Incredibles 2, Ralph Breaks The Internet, Avengers: Infinity War, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Christopher Robin, Bao, and Black Panther, which has 7 nominations, including Best Picture!!! Oscars NOT So White after all!

I love watching the Oscars and cannot wait to see who gets to take one home this year. I do hope that Bao picks up Best Animated Short!!!! That tugged at my heartstrings big time!

Elayna Fernandez ~ The Positive MOM

I agree. I was bawling!

This was a really amazing year in film. There are so many Oscar-worthy movies and filmmakers nominated! Whatever happens it is especially cool to see that BLACK PANTHER, a superhero film that champions inclusion and diversity, is included in the Best Picture category. Can't wait to watch the awards show! : )

You know, Disney's short award winner "Piper" from a couple of years back is still my favorite. Not a blockbuster and not one that everyone has seen. Nice to see it added to their most recent short bundle.

I love Piper, too!

Angie Rumpf

Looking at this list makes me realize that I am really behind in what I have and have not seen this year! I think I found my new “to do” list! So many look good.
