It’s shaping up to be a Jew-ish year at the Oscars, with chosen nominees in several of the major categories. But the recognition for other minority and oppressed groups — surprise attention in the top categories for “The Big Sick,” “Get Out,” and “Lady Bird” alongside the very Jewish “Call Me By Your Name” — is a true pleasure. The Oscars will air on Sunday night, March 4, on ABC. Until then, here are the major nominations that honor Jewish artists:
Daniel Day Lewis, “Phantom Thread,” Best Actor
Timothée Chalamet, “Call Me By Your Name,” Best Actor
“Call Me By Your Name,” Best Picture
“The Post,” Best Picture (Directed by Steven Spielberg and co-written by Josh Singer)
“The Disaster Artist,” Best Adapted Screenplay, adapted by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber
“Logan,” Best Adapted Screenplay, adapted by Michael Green and James Mangold
“Molly’s Game,” Best Adapted Screenplay, adapted by Aaron Sorkin

In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
