View in browser | Update preferences SUBSCRIBE FOR FULL ACCESS This is the time of year when everyone has a certain song constantly playing in their heads: Billy Crystal crooning, "It's a wonderful night for Oscar! Oscar, Oscar!" Just me? Well, in any case, it was a wonderful morning for Oscar, as the Academy Awards revealed the nominations for this year's ceremony—the august organization's 98th annual celebration of film.
