The 2018 Oscars are taking place this Sunday, March 04,2018
Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is back as host, becoming the first person to host back-to-back ceremonies since Billy Crystal in 1997-98
The nominees for the 90th Academy Awards have broken several records, including many firsts and some for longevity.
Logan, the final film for Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, became the first superhero film to be nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay
Rachel Morrison is now the first woman to be nominated for Best Cinematography, for her work on Netflix's Mudbound.
Both Meryl Streep and composer John Williams broke their own records, garnering the 21st and 51st Oscar nomination for The Post and Star Wars:The Last Jedi, respectively
Christopher Plummer is the oldest actor (aged 88) to be nominated for his role in All the Money in the World, while Agnès Varda (aged 89) is now the oldest person nominated for a competitive Oscar, for her documentary Faces Places
Kobe Bryant became the first NBA player to get an Oscar nomination, for his animated short film Dear Basketball.
Dee Rees, director of Mudbound, is the first queer black woman nominated for writing
Yance Ford – director on Netflix doc Strong Island – is the first openly transgender director nominee.
Loving Vincent is the world's first animated feature film painted by hand - all 65,000 frames - in the distinct style of Vincent van Gogh. Centred on a probe into his untimely death, the film was shot on a shoestring budget of $5.5 million (4.5 million euros). That is 30 times less than Disney's Coco, one of the film's four Oscar rivals. For director Dorota Kobiela, Loving Vincent has been a seven-year labour of love combining her twin passions of cinema and painting.
