If there’s anything more anticipated than the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ shout-out to yearly outstanding technical, creative and artistic achievement, i.e., Oscars, it is the Oscar nominations. The nominees for the 91st Academy Awards were announced by actors Kumail Nanjiani and Tracee Ellis Ross on Tuesday at the Samuel Goldwyn theatre in Hollywood, California.
Alfonso Cuaron's Roma emerged as the clear favourite, earning nominations in 10 categories, including Best Picture, Actress in a Leading Role (Yalitza Aparicio) and Foreign Language Film.
The Favourite, a dark-hearted period comedy, also received attention in 10 categories, with Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone each receiving a supporting actress nod.
Bradley Cooper-directed A Star Is Born clinched nominations in 8 categories, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Lady Gaga. It failed to earn a nomination in the Best Director category.
