This morning, Jennifer Hudson, Brie Larson, Emmanuel Lubezki, Jason Reitman and Ken Watanabe joined Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs to reveal the 89th Oscars Nominations. In a departure from the tradition of a live audience at the Academy, this year's nominations were announced via a global live stream on Oscar.com, Oscars.org, the Academy's digital platforms, a satellite feed, and local broadcasters, including "Good Morning America."

Broadway folks were well represented among this year's nominees! In the category of Best Supporting Actor, Jeff Bridges received a nod for HELL OR HIGH WATER, along with Michael Shannon for NOCTURNAL ANIMALS and Lucas Hedges for MACHESTER BY THE SEA.

The DEAR EVAN HANSEN songwriting duo also picked up a nomination for the film's "Audition (The Fools who Dream.)" They will compete against Lin Manuel Miranda's "How Far I'll Go" from Disney's MOANA. Should Miranda win, he would join the esteemed group of EGOT winners.

LA LA LAND broke the record this morning for most Oscar nominations for a musical film. Among its 14 nominations were nods for Best Cinematography, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Production Design, Directing, Best Original Screenplay, Editing and Costume Design.
