The 2019 Oscars nominations will be revealed shortly after the calendar turns to 2019, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is getting ahead of the curve by unveiling the shortlists for documentaries, foreign language films, music, visual effects, and shorts this week.
In the music categories, stars like Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Dolly Parton, Quincy Jones, Chaka Khan, Lady Gaga, and Jennifer Hudson all made the shortlist for their original songs.
Documentaries like RBG, which focuses on Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Won’t You Be My Neighbor? focused on Mr. Rogers, and more made the cut after what was a competitive year in the category.
The foreign language film category features films from Colombia, Germany, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mexico, South Korea, and more.
A full look at the shortlists can be seen below.
