The Oscar nominations on Monday will reveal which stars and movies have a shot at Hollywood’s ultimate prize, as the industry nervously awaits the number of women and minorities selected.

Neither the Globes nor the influential Directors Guild Awards included any female-helmed films in their top categories, with Greta Gerwig’s acclaimed “Little Women” adaptation notably absent. Some 9,000 Academy members vote for the Oscars.
