The nominations for the year’s Academy Awards have been announced. “The Revenant” led the way, with 12 Oscar nominations. The film is an 1820s-era drama about a man trying to survive in the wild after a bear attack. The Revenant will compete with "Mad Max: Fury Road," "The Big Short," "Bridge of Spies," "Brooklyn," "The Martian," "Room" and "Spotlight" for best picture. On social media, talk was about the lack of diversity among the nominees -- for the second straight year. All of the actors and actresses nominated where white. On Twitter, the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite reappeared. The hashtag first appeared last year, when nominees were also said to lack diversity. Will Smith, who stars in football drama "Concussion," and Idris Elba from "Beasts of No Nation" were among the black actors who were not nominated. Both films had received positive reviews. Reginald Hudlin, who will produce the Oscars ceremony on February 28, said ignoring black actors is “tragic.
