Add new comment

The 2019 Oscars might not have a host, but the show will go on.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominees for the 91st annual Academy Awards, a.k.a. the Oscars, on January 22.

Roma and The Favourite lead the pack, with 10 nominations each. The two films will go up against one another in the Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay categories.

The Best Picture category has eight nominees for 2019. Bohemian Rhapsody and Green Book, two movies that have been the subject of controversy and were previously honored with Best Picture trophies at the Golden Globes, are both nominated, as is last year’s biggest Hollywood success story: Black Panther.

Black Panther is now the first superhero movie in history to be nominated for Best Picture, a recognition that caps the film’s $1.3 billion worldwide box office haul.

The rest of the 2019 Best Picture nominees include A Star Is Born, Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman, and Adam McKay’s Dick Cheney biopic Vice.

The 2019 Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, February 24, and will air live on ABC at 8 pm Eastern/5 pm Pacific.
