The 2019 Oscar nominations were announced on Tuesday, January 22 and the big winners in terms of sheer numbers were Netflix’s “Roma” and Fox Searchlight’s “The Favourite.” Both films earned 10 nominations, including all-important bids for picture, directing, screenplay and acting, in addition to dominating the various below-the-line races. Next up with eight noms apiece were Warner Bros’ “A Star Is Born” and Annapurna’s “Vice,” followed by Marvel/Disney’s “Black Panther” at seven. Scroll down for the complete film-by-film breakdown for this year’s 91st Academy Awards.
Alfonso Cuaron‘s semi-autobiographical film about his growing up in Mexico City is the first streaming film to be nominated for Best Picture. Cuaron himself accounts for four of the 10 nominations, as he produced, directed, wrote and shot “Roma.” Two actors made the cut with Oscar voters: Yalitza Aparicio for Best Actress and Marina de Tavira for Best Supporting Actress. The remaining four nominations are for Best Production Design, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing and Best Foreign Language Film. (Editor’s note: Amazon’s “Manchester by the Sea” was technically the first film produced by a streaming platform to be nominated for Best Picture, but it was not streaming at the time of the Oscar nominations.)
“The Favourite,” a royalty dramedy about Queen Anne set in the 18th century, proved to be a fave with Oscar voters as it landed noms for Best Picture, Best Director (Yorgos Lanthimos), Best Actress (Olivia Colman), Best Supporting Actress (Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz) and Best Original Screenplay (Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara). Its four below-the-line nominations came in the categories of cinematography, costume design, film editing and production design.
