Oscar 2019 shortlists reveal foreign film, original score and visual effects contenders

91st Oscars will be held on February 24, 2019.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has released the shortlists for the 91st edition of Oscars. Usually, the shortlists are released piecemeal, but this time the Academy has released them for 9 categories all at once.

The shortlists for Documentary Feature, Documentary Short Subject, Foreign Language Film, Makeup and Hairstyling, Music (Original Score), Music (Original Song), Animated Short Film, Live Action Short Film and Visual Effects are out.

Indian film Village Rockstars failed to make the cut in the foreign film category. Black Panther is in four out of nine of these categories — Makeup and Hairstyling, Music (Original Score), Music (Original Song) and Visual Effects.

Although these are not nominations, this is a good sign for the movie, which might become the first Marvel Cinematic Universe film to win an Oscar. Avengers: Infinity War is also shortlisted under two categories — Music (Original Score) and Visual Effects. Ant-Man and the Wasp also figures in the Visual Effects shortlist.
