The 90th annual Oscar nominations were announced Tuesday by Tiffany Haddish and Andy Serkis. It was close but no cigar for Guillermo del Toro's lavish monster romance The Shape of Water, which emerged with 13 nominations—just short of tying All About Eve, Titanic, and La La Land's record 14 nominations, reports the AP. But as far as records go, two standouts: Lady Bird filmmaker Greta Gerwig is just the fifth woman nominated in the category, and Mudbound cinematographer Rachel Morrison became the first woman ever nominated for best cinematography.
