 shines with five nominations for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for Olivia Colman, Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz and Best Screenplay for Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara. The UK-US co-production Bohemian Rhapsody [+see also:

by Bryan Singer is also nominated (somewhat surprisingly) in the Best Motion Picture – Drama category, while its lead Rami Malek is nominated for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama. These two films will be duking it out in the main categories against 100% US titles such as Vice (six nominations), Green Book and A Star is Born (five nods) and Mary Poppins Returns (four nods).
