Todd Phillips' much-debated supervillain origin story and R-rated box-office smash Joker topped all films with 11 Academy Awards nominations, while Martin Scorsese's elegiac crime epic The Irishman, Quentin Tarantino's 1960s Los Angeles fairy tale Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and Sam Mendes' World War I tale 1917 all trailed close behind with 10 nods apiece.

Those four were among the nine films nominated for best picture, in nominations announced Monday to the 92nd Academy Awards. The others were: Parasite, Little Women, Marriage Story, Jojo Rabbit and Ford v Ferrari.
