Oscar 2019: Bradley Cooper snubbed in best director category, Black Panther bags best picture nomination

The nominations for 91st Academy Awards had its fair share of snubs and surprises, with Bradley Cooper being the most shocking absence from the Best Director category for "A Star Is Born". Cooper's film managed to bag eight nods overall, including best picture, best actress for Lady Gaga and best supporting actor for Sam Elliott. The actor was himself generating quite for buzz for his direction, which has been universally lauded by the critics, but it seems the Academy does not find him worthy for a nomination in the best director category. He will have to suffice with the best actor as well as best adapted screenplay nominations.
