While the 91st Oscars still does not have a host, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences still has awards to give out and the list of potential nominees just got shorter.

On Monday, the Academy released shortlists for nine categories, including Documentary Feature, both music categories and Foreign Language Film.

The Documentary Feature race will include two heavy-hitters โ€” the Fred Rogers film Won’t You Be My Neighbor? and RBG, the film about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Other films on the shortlist include Free Solo, Minding The Gap, Three Identical Strangers and The Distant Barking of Dogs.

The Foreign Language shortlist included Alfonso Cuaron’s Roma, which will represent Mexico. The film is now available to stream on Netflix and is expected to be in the running for Best Picture as well. Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Shoplifters, this year’s Palme d’Or winner at the Cannes Film Festival, will represent Japan.

Fans of Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born will be pleased to see the musical drama remain the frontrunner for the Music (Original Song) Oscar with “Shadow” making the shortlist. Two songs from Disney’s Mary Poppins Returns โ€” “The Place Where Lost Things Go” and “Trip A Little Light Fantastic” โ€” also made the shortlist, as did Black Panther‘s “All The Stars.”

All three 2018 Disney/Marvel movies made the shortlist for Visual Effects, while Mary Poppins Returns, Solo: A Star Wars Story and Christopher Robin are also on the list. The cult sci-fi movie Annihilation did not make it.

The nominations voting round starts on Jan. 7 and ends on Jan. 14, with nominations announced on Tuesday, Jan. 22. The Oscars will be on Sunday, Feb. 24 and air live on ABC.
