The 91st annual Academy Awards nominations were announced Tuesday morning. Netflix's " Roma" tied "The Favourite" with 10 nominations apiece, including best picture, best leading and supporting actress, and best foreign film. "Roma" is the fifth film to ever be nominated for best picture and best foreign film. It could become the first film in history to ever win both awards. Netflix's "Roma" surprised Hollywood with 10 big Academy Award nominations Tuesday morning, tying "The Favourite" for the most nominations. But it's Alfonso Cuarón's streaming movie which could make history at the 2019 Oscars next month. Not only is it the first best picture nomination for Netflix, "Roma" could become the first movie to win awards for best picture and best foreign film in the same year. It's the fifth film ever to be nominated in both categories in the same year. According to a release from the Academy, 1969's "Z," 1998's "Life Is Beautiful," 2000's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," and 2012's "Amour" are the only other films to ever be nominated for best picture and best foreign film in the same year. While each movie won best foreign film, none of the four won best picture.

  • Things That Make You Say 'Hmm' About US Presidential Elections

    Presidential campaigns today seem to be massive, well-oiled machines. But that doesn't mean American election history is without its oddities. For example, the Farmers Almanac says President Zachary Taylor never, ever voted. He kept his political beliefs a secret all the way up until his 1848 election. According to The Famer's Almanac, George Washington’s entire campaign budget for his 1758 election to the House of Burgesses was spent on liquor. Borrowing an English tradition, Washington spent 50 British pounds on 160 gallons of alcohol that was given to 390 voters. Originally, only white male American property owners could vote in US elections. But the 1920 Nineteenth Amendment gave women the right to vote, too. According to the Farmer's Almanac, since 1964, more women voters have gone to the polls than male voters during presidential election years.
