Rounding out the Best Picture nominees, two other foreign language films joined Roma – Burning from Lee Chang-dong and Shoplifters from Hirokazu Kore-eda. Burning received six nominations overall and Shoplifters earned five.

A Star Is Born managed five nominations with three of them coming from Original Song. Lady Gaga didn’t make the Best Actress cut but Bradley Cooper did find a spot in Best Actor.
