Tiffany Haddish and Andy Serkis announced the nominations for the 2018 Academy Award on Tuesday morning and several LGBTQ-inclusive nominees were among the honorees, which included A Fantastic Woman, The Shape of Water, Call Me By Your Name, Lady Bird, and the documentary Strong Island.
“It's a big day for LGBTQ-inclusive films at the Academy Awards. Films like The Shape of Water, A Fantastic Woman, Lady Bird, and Call Me By Your Name not only have complex, detailed, and moving portrayals, but prove that audiences and critics alike are hungry for stories which embrace diversity,” said Sarah Kate Ellis, GLAAD President and CEO. “These important stories move the needle forward on LGBTQ acceptance at a time when media images are often the front lines for marginalized communities.”
