Jodie Foster lands first Oscar nomination in 29 YEARS as star is honored in Best Supporting Actress category for Nyad


Jodie Foster has been nominated for an Academy Award for the first time in nearly 30 years.

Foster plays Bonnie Stoll, her friend and coach, who alongside a sailing team, guides Nyad on her four year journey to become the first person to complete the swim without the help of a shark cage. The impressive total - which also includes best supporting actor and actress for Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt, as well as best director for Christopher Nolan - is just one nomination short of the all-time record set by Titanic in 1998. Last year's other smash hit movie - Barbie - was nominated for eight awards, but also fell victim to notable snubs from the Academy during Tuesday's ceremony, which was hosted by Jack Quaid and Zazie Beetz.
