Oscars 2016: TV's Bryan Cranston And Brie Larson Score Nods
The big screen will take over the small screen for one evening only when the 88th Academy Awards air Feb. 28 on ABC.
And based on Thursday's announcement of Oscar nominees, it's clear that a handful of TV's MVPs will infiltrate cinema's biggest night, hosted by Chris Rock.
Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Brie Larson (The United States of Tara), Rachel McAdams (True Detective), Mark Rylance (Wolf Hall), Tom Hardy (Peaky Blinders, the upcoming Taboo), Jennifer Jason Leigh (Revenge, Showtime's upcoming Twin Peaks revival) and Eddie Redmayne (The Pillars of the Earth) will compete for statuettes at this year's ceremony, as will Spotlight director Tom McCarthy, who previously starred on The Wire and Boston Public.
In the screenplay categories, Josh Singer (Fringe, Lie to Me) picked up a nod for Spotlight and Drew Goddard (Marvel's Daredevil, Lost) was nominated for The Martian, while erstwhile SNL scribe Adam McKay scored writing and directing nods for The Big Short.
Meanwhile, American Horror Story: Hotel star Lady Gaga landed a nomination in the Best Original Song race for "Til It Happens to You" (from The Hunting Ground).
Here's the full list of nominees in major categories. (Get your party ballots ready now — and be sure to watch along with TVLine on Oscar Night!)
