Oscar nominations 2019: Yalitza Aparicio and Marina de Tavira

Awards season has officially moved up a gear with the announcement of the 2019 Oscar nominations. The stars and movies who will be vying for the coveted golden trophies in 24 different categories were revealed on the morning of January 22 during a presentation by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. On presenting duty were Silicon Valley star Kumail Nanjiani and Tracee Ellis Ross, daughter of Diana Ross and star of Black-ish. It was a great day for Roma – and no doubt a dream come true for Yalitza Aparicio – who picked up a nomination in the Best Actress category, as well as her co-star Marina de Tavira, who was named in the Best Supporting Actress category.

Elsewhere, Bohemian Rhapsody star Remi Malek goes head to head with Willem Dafoe, Green Book lead Viggo Mortensen, A Star is Born's Bradley Cooper and Christian Bale (who is almost unrecognizable as Dick Cheney in Vice), in the Best Actor Category. Meanwhile, up for Best Supporting actor are Mahershala Ali, who stars opposite Viggo, Adam Driver, who appears in BlacKkKlansman, A Star is Born's Sam Elliott, Richard E. Grant and Sam Rockwell, who appears in Vice.

This year’s Academy Award ceremony will take place on Sunday February 24 at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland. The biggest movie event of the year is still without a main host, after Kevin Hart stepped down following an outcry over past homophobic tweets.
