Netflix’s Roma is leading this year’s Oscar race, with 10 Academy Award nominations to its name – the same as 2019’s other awards favourite, The Favourite.

In a historic moment for the cinema industry, this is the first time Netflix has been nominated for Best Picture, after several years of nominations (and wins) in other categories, such as Best Documentary for Icarus in 2018. It also could be the very first streaming service film to be crowned Best Picture, after Amazon Studios’ Manchester by the Sea was nominated in 2017.

Roma, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2018 – read our five-star review from the festival here – has done even better than expected, not only bagging Director, Screenplay, Cinematography and Best Foreign Language Film nods for Alfonso Cuaron, but also earning its two stars Yalitza Aparicio and Marina de Tavira nominations for Best Actress and Supporting Actress respectively. Producer Gabriela Rodriguez is the first Hispanic woman to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, while the movie’s immersive sound and production design have also been recognised.

Roma has some hefty competition from The Favourite in many of those categories, most notably in the form of the UK’s own Olivia Colman, up for Best Actress opposite Glenn Close (The Wife), Melissa McCarthy (Can You Ever Forgive Me?) and Lady Gaga for A Star Is Born. The latter is tied with Vice on eight nominations, with them splitting Best Actor, Picture, Supporting Actor and Director nominations. That puts them in second place, ahead of Black Panther (seven nominations), BlackKkKlansman (six nominations). Bohemian Rhapsody and Green Book are in fifth place with five nominations apiece.

Black Panther’s success in the musical and technical categories is the primary reason for its impressive haul of nominations, but it also makes history by becoming the first superhero movie nominated for Best Picture. With Amazon Studios’ Cold War up for Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Cinematography – and Netflix’s The Ballad of Buster Scruggs up for Adapted Screenplay, Costume Design and Original Song – whether it’s a comic book victory or a streaming service sweep, 2019’s Oscars could be one to go down in the record books.

The Oscars will be handed out on Sunday 24th February 2019 in the wee small hours of the morning. Find out how to watch it online for free here. Here’s the list of nominees:
