The Oscar nominations have been revealed

After winning the Golden Globe for Best motion picture (drama), Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is the front-runner in the Oscar race but it has competition.

Martin McDonagh's film has been nominated alongside Call Me By Your Name, Darkest Hour, Dunkirk, Get Out, Lady Bird, Phantom Thread, The Post, and The Shape of Water. In terms of the Best Director category, Christopher Nolan, Jordan Peele, Greta Gerwig, Paul Thomas Anderson and Guillermo Del Toro are competing for that top gong. Surprisingly, there's no nod for McDonagh's superb work on Three Billboards. The superb performances from Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell in Three Billboards have also been acknowledged in the best supporting actor category. Gary Oldman is the bookies' favourite to finally land the Best Actor award and his performance as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour has been nominated. The British actor will be competing against Timothee Chalamet, Daniel Day-Lewis, Daniel Kaluuya and Denzel Washington. In terms of the Best Actress category, it appears that it's going to be a straight shoot-out between Frances McDormand (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) and Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird). Sally Hawkins, Margot Robbie, and Meryl Streep are also in contention. On the technical side of things, Blade Runner received a heap of nods as did Star Wars: The Last Jedi. It's also very cool to see Edgar Wright's heist caper Baby Driver and Logan pick up a few nominations. Here are the nominations in full. https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955799453788643328 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955798838656229377 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955798669273448449 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955798530521616386 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955798307208482824 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955798208269099008 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955797978106683392 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955797882828804097 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955797726528073728 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955797659700178944 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955797457274679297 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955797358163345408 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955797156635410433 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955796007723319296 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955795697898438662 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955795496961851392 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955795182024245248 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955794811960795137   https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955794562785542144 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955794430459445248 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955794199357505536 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955793928539725824 https://twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/955793725300490240
