"Roma" received 10 Oscar nominations which ties it with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" for the most nominations for a foreign language film.
In total, Alfonso Cuarn's "Roma" is nominated in the following categories:
- Best Picture

Further for the first time in Oscar history, "Cold War's" Pawe Pawlikowski and Cuarn, two directors of movies nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, have also received Best Director nominations.
Alfonso Cuarn is now tied for the all-time Oscar record of most award nominations for a single film.
The only other individuals to have accomplished this feat in Oscar history are the Coen Brothers for "No Country for Old Men," Warren Beatty for both "Heaven Can Wait" and "Reds," and Orson Welles for "Citizen Kane, according to Deadline.
The 91st Academy Award nominations are also the biggest year yet for Netflix.
"Roma" marks Netflix's first Best Picture nominee but there's more to the story than "Roma" and its impressive showing in the nominations list. In 2019, Netflix productions garnered a total of 15 Academy Awards nominations.
The list of nominations not covered by the "Roma" entry elsewhere on this list includes:
- Best Adapted Screenplay for "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs"
- Best Original Song for "When A Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings" from "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" by David Rawlings and Gillian Welch
- Best Costume Design for "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" by Mary Zophres
- Best Documentary, Short Subject for "End Game" by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman
- Best Documentary, Short Subject for "Period. End of Sentence" by Rayka Zehtabchi and Melissa Berton
Yalitza Aparicio is only the fourth Latinx actress to be nominated for Best Actress in Oscars history and the first in 14 years.
Nominated for her outstanding work in "Roma," this was also Aparicio's first acting experience ever.
Aparicio told Entertainment Tonight Online earlier in 2019 , "This is something I never imagined could happen to me but now I realize I'm an example for others -- to prove that everyone can obtain their dreams if they truly believe."
Spike Lee finally got nominated for both Best Picture and Best Director for "BlacKkKlansman."

"A Star Is Born" scored a total of eight nominations; here are the other six:
- Best Picture
- Lead Actor for Bradley Cooper

With his two 2019 Academy Awards nominations, this could be the year that composer Marc Shaiman achieves EGOT glory.

Shaiman who is nominated for both Best Score and Best Original Song for "Mary Poppins Returns" has been nominated for Oscars before, for his scores for "Sleepless in Seattle" and "First Wives Club," as well as his song "Blame Canada" from the film "South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut."
But according to Entertainment Weekly, he's the only nominee in 2019 who has the potential to achieve that elusive EGOT-holder title if he wins either award.
The newest "A Star Is Born" is the fourth version of the film to receive Oscar nominations and both Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper are the third lead acting pair to be nominated as best in their respective categories.
The 1976 version, which starred Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson, is the only version to not have had these two nominations.
