Lady Gaga is only the second person to get acting and song nominations for the same movie.

The “Edge of Glory” singer is nominated in two categories at the 2019 Oscars: Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for her portrayal of Ally in A Star Is Born and Best Original Song for cowriting “Shallow” from the same movie. She is the second person to ever get nominations in those two categories for the same film. (Mary J. Blige was the first in 2018 for her work in Mudbound.)

Netflix gets its first Best Picture nomination with 'Roma.'

The streaming service has been nominated for Oscars in the past, but never in the Best Picture category. That changed, however, when Roma, which was directed by Alfonso Cuarón, got a Best Picture nod in 2019. The movie is tied with The Favourite for most nominations with 10.

Spike Lee is nominated for best director for the first time in his career.

Lee finally got a Directing nomination thanks to his work with BlacKkKlansman. “The goal is not to be nominated; the goal is to make films of impact, and this film definitely has,” he told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month. “I’m not trying to be some grandiose motherf—er like, ‘Oh, I don’t need awards.’ I’m not saying that. But what I’m saying is that there are things more important.”
