The nomindations were announced on Tuesday morning. Bardem and Cruz, who have been married since 2010 have earned nominations in the Best Actor and Actress category.

Another real-life couple Kristen Dunst and Jeese Plemons have earned nominations in supporting categories - both for the film 'The Power Of The Dog'. The couple has been engaged since 2017 and share two children together.&nbsp; 
 
In previous Oscars, only one couple has been nominated the same.
