You could hardly map out more disparate trajectories for the three Sundance-supported films making the most Oscars noise this Tuesday. From Get Out to Mudbound to Call Me by Your Name, we find three films with markedly different storylines and equally contrasting journeys to this point. If Mudbound arrived at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival with a wave of anticipation, Get Out crept in unheralded and unannounced. And then there’s Call Me by Your Name, which has steadily won over audiences with its heart wrenching portrayal of a sexual and emotional awakening.

While it’s far from unprecedented to discover a strong Sundance showing come Oscars announcement morning, it is something of an anomaly to see these types of films nominated by the Academy. Festival Director John Cooper noted the diversity and originality of this year’s nominees to The Hollywood Reporter: “Bold, independent stories will always find success on their own terms, but it’s heartening to see so much thoughtful, important work reflected and recognized among this year’s nominees — including, yes, several Sundance alumni across categories.”

Other noteworthy news is Rachel Morrison’s (Mudbound) nomination for Best Cinematography, which makes her the first-ever women to be nominated in that category. Documentary films from the 2017 Festival also made a strong presence this morning, led by Icarus, Last Men in Aleppo, and Strong Island, a Documentary Film Program supported film. Find the complete list of nominations for Sundance-supported films below.
