'The Shape of Water,' 'Three Billboards' and 'Lady Bird' are among this year's Academy Award nominees, presented by Andy Serkis and Tiffany Haddish.
The Academy has anointed their Oscars class of 2018.
Hollywood was up bright and early on Tuesday as this year's nominees were announced live from the Samuel Goldwyn Theater by Andy Serkis, Tiffany Haddish and more A-list Academy members. (Because if you have to be awake at 5:22 a.m., there's no better presenter to keep spirits high than Tiffany Haddish.)
The most-nominated film of 2018, by no small number, is Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water, which earned 13 nominations -- one shy of tying the record currently held by All About Eve, Titanic and La La Land. Dunkirk follows with eight nominations and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri trails that with seven. This year's nominations also mark plenty of milestones: Timothée Chalamet is the youngest Best Actor nominee in 75 years, while Christopher Plummer is the oldest acting nominee, ever; the first female nominee for Best Cinematography (Mudbound's Rachel Morrison), and the fifth female director (Greta Gerwig) and fifth black director (Jordan Peele) nominated for Best Director; and a record-setting 21st Oscar nomination for Meryl Streep.
This year's films truly run the gamut, ranging from horror satire Get Out to the coming-of-age dramedy Lady Bird, to creature feature The Shape of Water and Three Billboards, a two-hour showcase for Frances McDormand to show off. After an increasingly unpredictable awards season that has seen the fortunes of these films change on a seemingly daily basis, the chosen ones have finally been, well, chosen. But the race is only beginning. The Academy Awards will take place on March 4, but until then, here are your nominees:
