Oscar nominations were announced early this morning in Los Angeles, setting the stage for what’s sure to be a politically charged ceremony similar to the Golden Globes earlier this year. Never ones to turn down a good montage, the Academy’s livestream opened with a stirring tribute to itself before cutting to hosts Andy Serkis and Tiffany Haddish, who failed to score an (admittedly long-shot) Best Supporting Actress nomination for her role in Girls Trip but cracked everyone up with her struggle to pronounce nominees’ names (hi, Daniel Kaluuya) and quips like, “I should see this Dunkirk movie. Everybody seems to like it.”
Perhaps reflective of Hollywood’s newfound awareness of sexism in the film industry and AMPAS’ drive to recruit a younger, more diverse membership after 2016’s #OscarsSoWhite controversy, this year’s nominees include a historic nomination for Rachel Morrison for Mudbound, the first time a woman has ever been nominated for Best Cinematography. Greta Gerwig and Jordan Peele’s Best Director nominations for Lady Bird and Get Out are also significant, not only because they’re both debut films, but because this marks only the fifth time a (white) woman and a black man have been nominated for the award, respectively. (A woman of color has never been nominated for Best Director, although Dee Rees made history this year as the first black woman nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay.) French cinema legend Agnes Varda—who’s been active since the days of the French New Wave and who, believe it or not, has never been nominated for an Oscar before—also made history as the oldest person ever nominated at 89 years old. (The previous record was set by then-87-year-old Gloria Stuart for Titanic.)
In terms of sheer numbers, The Shape Of Water leads with 13 nominations, followed by Golden Globes favorite Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri with nine. The 90th Annual Academy Awards will air live on Sunday, March 4, 2018 on ABC with host Jimmy Kimmel. A full list of nominees announced at this year’s livestream ceremony is below.

Correction: An earlier version of this article named Christopher Plummer the oldest-ever Oscar nominee at 88. Agnes Varda, nominated for Best Documentary Feature with her film Faces Places, is one year older than Plummer, and the current record holder for oldest nominee. We regret the error.
