Statistics
Black Panther” is the first comic book-based film to earn a Best Picture nomination.

A Star Is Born” is the fourth film version to receive Academy Award nominations, for a total of 26 nominations. The acting nominations for Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga are the third for both the lead characters (after Fredric March and Janet Gaynor in 1937, and James Mason and Judy Garland in 1954).

With ten nominations, Netflix’s “Roma” has tied the record held by “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” (2000) for the most nominations received by a foreign language film. It is the tenth foreign language film nominated for Best Picture. “Roma” is the fifth film to be nominated for both Foreign Language Film and Best Picture in the same year. Each of the previous four (“Z,” 1969; “Life Is Beautiful,” 1998; “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” 2000; “Amour,” 2012) won for Foreign Language Film but not Best Picture.

Alfonso Cuarón is the fourth person to receive four nominations in four different award categories for the same film. Warren Beatty did so twice, with Best Picture, Directing, Leading Actor and Writing nominations for “Heaven Can Wait” (1978) and “Reds” (1981). Ethan Coen and Joel Coen received nominations for Best Picture, Directing and Writing and shared a nomination for Film Editing under the pseudonym Roderick Jaynes for “No Country for Old Men” (2007). Alan Menken received four nominations in two Music categories for “Beauty and the Beast” (1991).

For the first time, two directors of films nominated in the Foreign Language Film category (Paweł Pawlikowski, “Cold War” and Alfonso Cuarón, “Roma”) have received Directing nominations.

Bradley Cooper is the fifteenth person to direct himself to an acting nomination and the ninth to do so on his feature film directing debut.

In the acting categories, eight individuals are first-time nominees (Yalitza Aparicio, Olivia Colman, Marina de Tavira, Adam Driver, Sam Elliott, Richard E. Grant, Regina King, Rami Malek). Five of the nominees are previous acting winners (Mahershala Ali, Christian Bale, Sam Rockwell, Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz). Two were also nominated for acting last year (Willem Dafoe, Sam Rockwell).

Yalitza Aparicio, nominated for Supporting Actress for “Roma,” is the second actress nominated for a debut performance in a spoken language other than English. The first was Catalina Sandino Moreno, nominated for her leading role in “Maria Full of Grace” (2004).

Lady Gaga is the second person to receive acting and song nominations for the same film (“A Star Is Born”). Mary J. Blige was the first, with her nominations for “Mudbound” last year.

The Cinematography nominations for “Cold War” and “Roma” mark the first time since 1966 that two black-and-white films have been nominated in the category in a single year. Since 1967, when the Academy eliminated a separate award category for black-and-white cinematography, there have been 15 black-and-white films nominated for Cinematography.

Sandy Powell has the most nominations for Costume Design of any living person with 14. The overall record in the category belongs to Edith Head with 35 nominations
