All eyes were on Hollywood on Tuesday as the Oscars nominees were unveiled, with The Shape of Water sweeping the ceremony with 13 nominations.
Guillermo del Toro’s fantasy romance landed a leading 13 nominations and Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) became just the fifth woman nominated for best director by the Academy Awards.
Mudbound cinematographer Rachel Morrison made history as the first woman ever nominated in the category in nominations announced on Tuesday.
The Shape of Water came just shy of tying the record of 14 nominations shared by All About Eve, Titanic and La La Land.
The announcements were also seen as an opportunity for the industry to support female filmmaking, with the #MeToo and Time’s Up campaigns against sexual misconduct and gender inequality a mainstay of the 2018 awards circuit.
The nominated movies, actors and filmmakers were unveiled at a pre-dawn announcement, with industry watchers placing Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and The Shape of Water — buoyed by strong showings at the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards — in pole position for best film.
The winners of the 2018 Academy Awards ceremony will be announced on 4 March.
