This morning the Acadamy announced the Oscar nominations for the 90th annual awards from the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, Calif. There’s finally a reason to watch for the first time since The Silence of the Lambs was nominated back in 1992…

Whether or not Guillermo del Toro‘s The Creature From the Black Lagoon-inspired The Shape of Water is horror doesn’t matter because it lives in our genre. It’s a monster movie that harkens back to the early Universal horror films that paved the way for Leatherface, Michael, Freddy, Jason, Chucky, Pinhead, Jigsaw, and many more. With that said, del Toro’s fantasy has been nominated for a whopping 13 Acadamy Awards, including “Best Picture”, “Best Director” and “Best Original Screenplay”!

That’s just the icing on the cake, as we’re dancing over here at Bloody Disgusting headquarters celebrating the Academy for recognizing the greatness of Jordan Peele‘s Get Out, which is most definitely not a comedy. Well, guess what? Not only was Peele nominated for “Best Director”, but Get Out was nominated for “Best Picture” and star Daniel Kaluuya was nominated for “Best Lead Actor”! The great Hollywood horror takeover continues!

Jordan Vogt-RobertsKong: Skull Island also picked up a nomination for “Best Visual Effects”, while Denis Villeneuve‘s Blade Runner 2049 was nominated for “Cinematography”, “Sound Editing”, “Sound Mixing”, and “Production Design”!

Jimmy Kimmel hosts the Acadamy Awards that will air on ABC March 4th.

‘Final Destination: Bloodlines’ Adds “Chucky” Actor Teo Briones and More to Lead Cast

The Final Destination franchise is returning to life with Final Destination: Bloodlines. With filming now underway, THR reports that three actors have joined the lead cast, including “Chucky” actor Teo Briones.

Brec Bassinger (“Stargirl”) and Kaitlyn Santa Juana (The Friendship Game) join Teo Briones, who played Junior Wheeler in season two of “Chucky,” as the leads in the sixth installment of the horror franchise.

Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein (Freaks) are directing the fresh installment that also includes Richard Harmon (“The 100”, Grave Encounters 2), Anna Lore, Owen Patrick Joyner, Max Lloyd-Jones (The Book Of Boba Fett), Rya Kihlstedt (Obi Wan Kenobi), and Tinpo Lee (The Manor) among the cast.

Production is now underway in Vancouver.

What can we expect from the upcoming Final Destination 6? Speaking with Collider, franchise creator Jeffrey Reddick offered up an intriguing (and mysterious) tease last year.

“This film dives into the film in such a unique way that it attacks it from a different angle so you don’t feel like, ‘Oh, there’s an amazing setup and then there’s gonna be one wrinkle that can potentially save you all that you have to kind of make a moral choice about or do to solve it.’ There’s an expansion of the universe that – I’m being so careful,” Reddick teased.

Reddick continued, “It kind of unearths a whole deep layer to the story that kind of, yes, makes it really, really interesting.”

Final Destination: Bloodlines is written by Lori Evans Taylor (“Wicked Wicked Games”) and Guy Busick (Scream), with Jon Watts (Spider-Man: No Way Home) producing.

Producers on the new movie for New Line Cinema also include Dianne McGunigle (Cop Car) as well as Final Destination producers Craig Perry and Sheila Hanahan Taylor.

This will be the sixth installment in the hit franchise, and the first in over ten years. Each film centers on “Death” hunting down young friends who survive a mass casualty event.

The latest entry is expected in 2025, coinciding with the original film’s 25th anniversary.
