Oscar snubs, surprises: No women directors, ‘Babylon’ bust

There are always a few big surprises and heartbreaks come Oscar nomination morning, as much as awards strategists try to mitigate those.

The biggest sting is the fact that after several years of women directors being celebrated, this year no women got nominations in the category. Best actress had several surprises, including Andrea Riseborough for “To Leslie” and Ana de Armas for “Blonde,” which came at the exclusion of Danielle Deadwyler for “Till” and Viola Davis for “The Woman King.”
