The 2019 Oscars are this weekend!

The Favourite and Roma both scored 10 nominations, leading the list of incredible nominees. A Star Is Born is also among the top nominees, landing eight nods, including Best Actor for Bradley Cooper and Best Actress for Lady Gaga.
Gaga actually made history with her Academy Award nominations, as did Black Panther, which scored seven Oscar nominations, including Best Picture.
Let’s take a look at all of the artists and films that made history with their 2019 Oscar nods!
Lady Gaga: The A Star Is Born actress and singer received nods for Best Actress and Best Original Song for “Shallow,” along with Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt. Gaga has made history with these Oscar nominations as she is the first person ever to be nominated for both Best Actress and Best Original Song in the same year.
