It's our favorite morning of the year! Or one of them, at least. We had a great turnout for our annual Oscar nominations livestream on our YouTube channel. In case you missed it, here it is in podcast form.

Ryan Coogler's Southern Gothic vampire musical "Sinners" made history with 16 nominations, including best picture, director and the new category of casting. Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another" was second with 13.

We woke up bright and early to talk about the nominations that excited us (Delroy Lindo! Amy Madigan!) and the omissions that surprised us (nothing for "Wicked: For Good" or "No Other Choice").

What were your thoughts on today's Oscar nominations? Was your favorite film honored? Let us know, and mark your calendar for Tuesday, March 10 at Noon Pacific, when LA Times awards expert Glenn Whipp will return to help make predictions, category by category. Thanks for being here!
