LINKS 2020 Oscar nominations, RHOD controversy, Cardi B gets political…
CELEBITCHY – The 2020 Oscar nominations have been announced, and there’s not even a hint of controversy over the contenders. Just kidding! Once again, the nominees’ surprising lack of diversity has come under scrutiny.

Anyway, here’s the full list of 2020 Oscar nominations, so get speculatin’
