Oscar nominations 2019 – live updates: The Favourite and Roma lead nods with UK's Olivia Colman and Christian Bale shortlisted for best actor categories
This year’s Oscar nominations have been announced in Los Angeles bringing the 2019 awards season into its final stages.
The films vying for success at the annual awards ceremony were named by Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick) and Black-ish star Tracee Ellis Ross.
In contention are Yorgos Lanthimos’s periood comedy The Favourite, Netflix film Roma and the Bradley Cooper-Lady Gaga mudsical drama, A Star is Born.

It goes without saying this has been one of the tightest races in years – former frontrunners (*cough*First Man*cough*) have fallen by the wayside with outsiders becoming firm favourites in the past month (here's looking at you, Green Book).
Here's hoping he gets a Best Director nomination also, although other uncertain bets – Barry Jenkins (If Beale Street Could Talk) and Yorgos Lanthimos (The Favourite) – would also be welcome.
This year's "Sandra Bullock" could be Melissa McCarthy who has been nominated (twice) for Worst Actress, and will probably pick up an Oscar nomination for Can You Ever Forgive Me?.
