It’s worth noting that there are a few Canadian nominees. Notably, Aylmer, Quebec’s Dean DeBlois co-wrote and directed How to Train Your Dragon: Hidden World, which has been nominated for Best Animated Film. Montreal native Jay Baruchel also voices main character Hiccup.
St. Louis Superman — directed by Sarnia, Ontario’s Sami Khan — is up for Best Documentary Short. Meanwhile, 1917 is in the running for Best Production Design from Vancouver-born Dennis Gassner. Finally, Montreal-based Meryam Joobeur’s Brotherhood has been nominated for Best Live Action Short.
Outside of Canada, Netflix has made waves for being nominated 24 times — more than any other studio, and a significant moment for streaming services in general. In particular, the company has two contenders in the coveted Best Picture race: The Irishman and Marriage Story.

Finally, it should be noted that the Oscars will go without a host for the second year in a row. Instead, the show will rely on a star-studded list of presenters, including Tom Hanks (A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood), Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), Sigourney Weaver (Alien), late night comedian James Corden, Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody), Ottawa’s Sandra Oh (Killing Eve), Toronto’s Keanu Reeves (John Wick: Chapter Three — Parabellum)
