The Best actress category also includes Melissa Mccarthy for Can You Ever Forgive Me ? and Lady Gaga for A Star Is Born .
Rami Malek is nominated for Best actor for playing Freddie Mercury in Bohemian RhapsodyGaga's co-star Bradley Cooper is nominated in The Best actor category, but he missed out on a nod for Best director.
The frontrunners for The Best actor statuette are two men who earned acclaim for portraying real-life public figures.
Rami Malek won rave reviews for playing Queen singer Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody , while Bale transformed into former US Vice -President Dick Cheney with The Help of prosthetics in Vice .
Richard E Grant has received his first ever Oscar nomination, for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the film Can You Ever Forgive Me ?
The Withnail & I star told Bbc News the nomination was "beyond anything I could have ever hoped or dreamt or imagined".

Cuaron, who loosely based the story on that of his own upbringing and His Family 's maid, has a total of four nominations this Year - Best original screenplay and cinematography as well as Best director and Best picture.

The Oscars ceremony will take place on 24 February, but is still without a host.
#OscarsStillSoWhite?Analysis by BBC Reality Check
It's been a pretty good Year for diversity in Oscar nominations by the standards of The Last decade.
In The Four acting categories, there were five nominees from Ethnic Minorities (out of 20 possible nominations) - Second only to the seven nominees in 2017.
There are also two Best director nominees from Ethnic Minorities in Spike Lee and Alfonso Cuaron , the First Time that has happened since 2014.
But still no sign of gender balance in the directing category - All five nominees this Year are men.
There have only been two female nominees for Best director in The Last decade: Greta Gerwig , for Lady Bird last Year , and Kathryn Bigelow , who won The Oscar for the Hurt Locker in 2010.
