The 2019 Oscar nominees have been announced—and a few names are noticeably missing. 

As is the case every year, the list of contenders for the annual award show has taken some by shock and surprise. Presenters Kumail Nanjiani and Tracee Ellis Ross shared the big news on Tuesday morning, revealing award season favorites like Bohemian Rhapsody and Green Book were included in this year's nominee pool. Meanwhile, The Favourite and Roma lead the pack this year with 10 nominations a piece. 

Rami Malek and Roma's Marina De Tavira celebrated their first Oscar nods while Hollywood icons like Amy Adams and Glenn Close added yet another nomination to their impressive resumes. A major hat tip to the Vice and Wife actresses, who have now been nominated a whopping six and seven times respectively for an Academy Award.

Amazon Studios

Snubs

Bradley Cooper: The A Star Is Born leading actor was recognized for his contributions to the film with a Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture nomination, but surprisingly left out of the Best Director category despite the rave success of his directorial debut. 

Timothée Chalamet: The Beautiful Boy Golden Globe nominee did not get the same recognition from the Academy for his performance in the drama. 

Annapurna Pictures

If Beale Street Could Talk: Despite Best Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Score recognition, one of the year's most revered films was not named a Best Picture contender. 

Nicole Kidman: Despite her Golden Globe-nominated performance in Destroyer, the actress was not recognized by the Academy for her performance in that film nor Boy Erased

Lucas Hedges: Kidman's Boy Erased co-star also did not get any Oscar recognition despite his Golden Globe nomination for the performance. 

John David Washington: While director Spike Lee and co-star Adam Driver were included in the Oscar contenders, the BlacKkKlansman star did not get a nod for his performance in the Oscar-nominated movie like he did for the Golden Globes.

Won't You Be My Neighbor?: The beloved documentary on Mr. Rogers was sadly snubbed from the Best Documentary Feature category. 

Crazy Rich Asians: The summer blockbuster romantic comedy was nominated for Golden Globes, a SAG Award and Critics' Choice Awards, but shockingly shut out of the Oscar nominations.
