The 2019 Oscars might still be down a host, but at least now they have some nominees.

Netflix s Roma, from writer and director Alfonso Cuarn, and Yorgos Lanthimos dark period comedy The Favourite led with 10 nominations each for the 91st Academy Awards, announced Tuesday morning. Roma became a game-changer for the streaming service as its first Best Picture nominee.

The nominations were revealed by Kumail Nanjiani and Tracee Ellis Ross in Los Angeles at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Samuel Goldwyn Theater.

The hit musical melodrama A Star Is Born, Adam McKays Dick Cheney biopic Vice and the controversial and Best Picture front-runner Green Book were represented across major categories save for a snub for Cooper for Best Director.

The academy also made history with Marvel s box office behemoth Black Panther after a strong awards campaign, with the Ryan Coogler-directed blockbuster becoming the first superhero film to be nominated for Best Picture.

It was a good morning for Bohemian Rhapsody star Rami Malek, and for Christian Bale of Vice. Both gave transformative performances this year and walked away with the top male acting trophies at the Golden Globes. Glenn Close and Lady Gaga are poised to lead the Best Actress race after sharing the honor at the Critics Choice Awards, unless the two split the votes, which would open the category for The Favourite scene-stealer Olivia Colman or Melissa McCarthy from Can You Forgive Me?

The awards ceremony is officially charging ahead without a host for the first time in nearly three decades after comedian Kevin Hart stepped down in the wake of controversy over past homophobic tweets.

The 91st Annual Academy Awards will be handed out live on ABC from the Dolby Theatre on Sunday, Feb. 24.
