Oscar nominations will be announced Tuesday morning, settling several questions about Hollywood's second pandemic-muted awards season. No, I'm not talking about “Jackass Forever.”On Tuesday morning, nominations to the 94th annual Academy Awards will be announced. But the Oscar nominations, which will be announced Tuesday beginning at 8:18 a.m. EST by presenters Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan, will try to again seize the spotlight after a year of profound change for the industry and a still-unfolding recovery for movie theaters. Two years after Bong Joon Ho's Korean thriller “Parasite” won best picture, a group of acclaimed international films could vie in several top categories. While no film has the broad support that made “Parasite” the first non-English language film to win Hollywood's top honor, Ryusuke Hamaguchi's masterful three-hour Japanese drama “Drive My Car” could squeeze into best picture, best director or best screenplay.
