The twosome is favorited to get nods for both Best Actor and Actress for the film, as well as Best Director for Cooper and Best Song for Gaga for either “I’ll Never Love Again” or “Shallow.”
In Academy history, according to Goldderby, there have only been seven occasions in Oscar history where the Best Actor and Best Actress awards have gone to a duo from the same movie.
Despite many actors and actresses from the same motion pictures being nominated, it is quite rare for both to score a golden statuette for their work in the same film. The site also predicts that Sam Elliot as Cooper’s on-screen brother and foil Bobby Maine will also get a nod for Best Supporting Actor.

Both Gaga and Cooper transformed themselves for the roles. Although she plays a struggling singer, Gaga touches on a vulnerability not seen on screen in many years in the role of Ally Campana-Maine, a singer/songwriter turned pop superstar.
As Jackson Maine, Cooper embodied an aging rock star struggling with past demons who tried to put them to rest by finding a lasting love with Gaga’s Ally. Not only did Cooper learn how to sing and play guitar for the role, but he also co-wrote the screenplay and made his directorial debut.
