The 2019 Oscar nominations were (rather delightfully, it must be said) announced Tuesday morning by The Big Sick‘s Kumail Nanjiani and black-ish‘s Tracee Ellis Ross. Perhaps there is some insight to be gleaned, however, through the number of nominations handed out to Roma and The Favourite: 10 each, including Best Picture. Other movies in the race for the highest honour at the Oscars include Bohemian Rhapsody (five nominations) and Green Book (five nominations), two movies that have received their fair share controversy in the lead up to Tuesday’s announcement. Box office hits A Star Is Born (nine nominations) and Black Panther (seven nominations) will also be in the hunt for the final award of the night.
