The Academy Awards will take place on Sunday 24 February at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre.

Since this year's host Kevin Hart stepped down over controversial tweets, no replacement has been announced.  Instead, a selection of guest hosts will present across the evening.

Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz are also competing for Best Supporting Actress while Irish talent Robbie Ryan is up for Best Cinematography for his work on the film.  There are also nods for Costume Design, Production Design, and Film Editing.

The Favourite, produced by Irish production, distribution and cinema company Element Pictures, is topping off a phenomenal awards season with nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and Actress in a Leading Role for Olivia Colman.

Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara also share a nomination for Best Original Screenplay for their work on the film which was a decade in the making. Yorgos Lanthimos's The Favourite and Alfonso Cuarón's Roma lead the Academy Award nominations this year with 10 nominations each.

Roma, meanwhile, is also up for Best Picture and Best Director with star Yalitza Aparicio nominated for Best Actress among its ten nominations.

A Star is Born, and Vice each have seven nominations.  Lady Gaga has been nominated in the Best Actress category for her role in A Star is Born while co-star and director Bradley Cooper has been nominated for Best Actor.  It is also up for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Sam Elliot) and Shallow is in the running for Best Song.

Vice is in the running for Best Picture with Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman, Bohemian Rhapsody, The Favourite, Green Book, Roma, and A Star is Born.  Christian Bale is up for Best Actor while Amy Adams has made the Best Supporting Actress shortlist.

There was no nomination for Irish actress Saoirse Ronan for her role in Mary Queen of Scots. The contenders in that category are Roma's Yalitza Aparicio, Glenn Close for The Wife, the aforementioned Olivia Colman, Lady Gaga, and Melissa McCarthy for Can You Ever Forgive Me?

Elsewhere, Cartoon Saloon and Louise Bagnall's Late Afternoon has made the shortlist for Animated Short while Irish director Vincent Lambe's controversial film about James Bulger's killers, Detainment, is in the running for Best Live Action Short.

Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland has congratulated the teams behind The Favourite and Late Afternoon as well as US-based sound mixer Peter Devlin on his nomination for his work on Black Panther.

The nominees for the golden statuettes were revealed today by hosts Tracee Ellis Ross of Black-ish fame, and Silicon Valleys' Kumail Nanjiani from the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre in LA.
