The extremely tricky 'Oscar firsts' quiz
Can you name the first animated movie to be nominated for Best Picture? Or the first Bond song to win an Oscar?
This has been an unusually unpredictable Oscar season and it's also been a year of big firsts for the awards.
Black Panther is the first superhero movie to get a Best Picture nomination; Spike Lee bagged the first Best Director nod of his 30-year career; Roma could become the first ever foreign language movie to win the top award; and its leading lady, Yalitza Aparicio, is the first Indigenous woman from Mexico to be nominated for Best Actress.
With that in mind, we want to test your knowledge of other landmark Oscar firsts. Be warned, this is a tricky one...
