The early morning had a super-charged feel for eight actors and actresses who earned their first-ever Academy Award nomination on Tuesday.
Timothee Chalamet of "Call Me by Your Name," Daniel Kaluuya of "Get Out," Sam Rockwell of "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri," Margot Robbie and Allison Janney of "I, Tonya," Mary J. Blige of "Mudbound," Lesley Manville of "Phantom Thread" and Laurie Metcalf of "Lady Bird" are this year's first-time Oscar nominees in the acting categories.
Meanwhile, six of this year's crop of nominated actors have already added "Academy Award winner" to their resume. That list boasts Daniel Day-Lewis, Frances McDormand, Christopher Plummer, Octavia Spencer, Meryl Streep and Denzel Washington.
Spencer, Washington and Streep, who increases her lead as the most nominated performer with her 21st nod this year, were also nominated for Oscars last year.
