The list of the 2018 Oscar nominations is finally here and it is full of surprises and snubs. Guillermo del Toro’s ‘The Shape of Water’ rules the list with 13 nominations, being just one nod away from tying the record for the most nominations with films like ‘Titanic’, ‘All About Eve’ and ‘La La Land’.

As usual, the dominance of one film was surely expected but Oscar nominations had several surprises in store for us. Greta Gerwig became the fifth woman to be nominated in the category of Best Director while cinematographer Rachel Morrison became the first woman to ever get nominated in this category.
