The Shape Of Water sweeps the board with 13 Academy Award nominations... while Dunkirk and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri emerge as strong Oscars contenders

Angelina Jolie was noticeably snubbed along with All Of The Money In The World star Michelle Williams and actor James Franco

Directors Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott were also missed when the 2018 nominations were announced live from Los Angeles on Tuesday 

The Shape Of Water has won a total of 13 nods, compared to eight for Dunkirk and six for fellow British wartime film Darkest Hour

Elsewhere, the film's leading actor Gary Oldman is nominated for Best Actor. This season, he has already won the Golden Globe award and the Screen Actors Guild for his role as Winston Churchill

Shock nominations included musician Mary J. Blige, who is the first person to be recognised in an acting category and a musical category in the same year

Actress Octavia Spencer also became the first black actress to get multiple follow-up Oscar nominations, following her win in 2012

Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein is this year banned from the ceremony, after being dropped as a member of the Academy 

The 90th annual Academy Awards will be held live from the Dolby Theater in LA on March 4, 2018 and hosted by talk show host Jimmy Kimmel for the second time in a row
