I agree with most of the nominations below however, Tom Hanks should have been nominated for best actor for "Scully", Amy Adams should have been nominated for best Actress for "Arrival" and Jessica Chastain was a major omission for best actress for "Miss Sloane". Taraji P. Henson was essentially the lead actress and is equally as deserving for a nomination as Octavia Spenser for Hidden figures and also did not get a nomination. Perhaps the solution for these obvious omissions is to increase the number of nominations like they have done for movies.
On top of this Viola Davis in Fences is not a supporting actress, her time on screen warrants a Best Actress nomination and this is also true with Dev Patel, who is in almost every scene. I would like to learn the logic of how the Academy decides these categories which very often makes no sense. The worst example of this was Timothy Hutton in "Ordinary People" in 1980 who was the lead actor, was in every scene, but was nominated for best-supporting actor and did win the award.
The movie La La Land received 14 nominations, now tied for the most in Oscar History. La La Land is very good, but both Manchester by the Sea and Fences are better movies overall, in my humble opinion. The movie the "Lobster" is nominated for best original screenplay, even though it was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Manchester by the Sea should win in this category, but like the Golden Globes, the odds are that La La Land will win this award as well.
