Where to see Oscar nominated films in Bristol

By Robin Askew  Tuesday Jan 24, 2017

The Oscar nominations are out and, as anticipated, La La Land leads the field with 14 nominations, matching Titanic‘s record, including two nods in the Best Original Song category. And if we’re looking for a slightly desperate local angle, let’s hear it for Naomie Harris, who trained at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and made her feature debut in the Bristol-set student comedy Living in Hope. She’s now received her first Oscar nomination as Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Moonlight.

Here’s our handy guide to where you can catch the main nominated titles right now, plus release dates and venues for those that are yet to open. Follow the links to our reviews, where we have them.
