The films Roma and The Favourite scored the most nominations, picking up 10 each. Actor Rami Malek is one of the favourites to win Best Actor for his portrayal of Queen singer Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody.
Troye Sivan missed out on a nomination for Best Song, his collaboration with Jonsi for the film Boy Erased did not get a nomination. The film failed to score any nominations despite having been nominated in many other awards of the season.
