Grant, Sam Elliott and Adam Driver were all nominated for the very first time, while Christian Bale, Rachel Weisz, Mahershala Ali and Sam Rockwell have already won. Three of those first-time nominees are now become Oscar winners: Rami Malek, Olivia Colman and Regina King. Mahershala Ali was the only acting nominee that had already won an Oscar to win another award on Sunday.

Christian Bale, 45, was first nominated for an Academy Award in 2011 for his performance in "The Fighter." He won his first Oscar that year at the 83rd Academy Awards for best supporting actor. Bale went on to be nominated for best actor in "American Hustle" in 2014 and for best supporting actor in "The Big Short" in 2016 but hasn't won an Oscar since his first. This year the actor, who has been acting since he was 12, was nominated for best actor for his performance as Dick Cheney in "Vice." He lost the award to Rami Malek. Here Bale is pictured at the Oscars in 2011 and in 2019.

Bradley Cooper, 44, nominated as best actor for "A Star is Born," a movie he also directed and adapted the screenplay for, was first nominated for an Academy Award in 2013 for "The Silver Linings Playbook." Cooper, who has been acting in movies since the age of 26, lost that year to Daniel Day-Lewis for his performance in "Lincoln." He was also nominated the next year for best supporting actor in "American Hustle" and in 2015 for best actor in "American Sniper." He co-produced "American Sniper," which was also up for best picture that year, so he earned another Oscar nod there. Cooper has yet to win an Oscar. Here Cooper is at the Oscars in 2010 and in 2019.

The artist first attended the 2014 Oscars, when she showed up on the red carpet as the new face of Versace. The ASIB actress previously performed at the 2015 Oscars, with a medley of songs from "The Sound of Music," and at the 2016 Oscars, where she sang "Til It Happens to You" from the documentary "The Hunting Ground," which was nominated for best original song. Here she is seen on the Oscars red carpet in 2014 and in 2019. She lost the best actress award to Olivia Colman.

This was the second Oscar nomination for Melissa McCarthy, 48, who portrayed author Lee Israel in the drama "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" McCarthy, who started acting in movies at age 28, was previously nominated for best supporting actress for her breakout role in the hit comedy "Bridesmaids," but lost to Octavia Spencer in "The Help" in 2012. The actress said years later that she struggled to find a designer to dress her for her first Oscars red carpet. "I asked five or six designers -- very high-level ones who make lots of dresses for people -- and they all said no," the actress told Redbook in 2014, eventually deciding on a ready-to-wear gown by Marina Rinaldi. She presented the awards for Best Animated Short Film and Best Animated Feature Film alongside Paul Rudd the next year at the 85th Academy Awards. McCarthy is pictured here at the 2012 Oscars and in 2019.

Olivia Colman has come a long way since starring in the British comedy "Peep Show." Although she has been a darling of the stage and screen in the U.K. for more than a decade, starting her movie career at age 30, the 45-year-old has started picking up steam in the U.S. in recent years, winning a 2017 Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in TV series "The Night Manager." The English-born actress has garnered critical acclaim and earned her first Oscar nomination for her role as Queen Anne in "The Favourite," alongside her Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz. Here she is pictured at the BAFTAs in 2019 where she won Best Actress in a Leading Role for her role. This is her very first Oscar win.

This is the first Academy Award nomination for newcomer Yalitza Aparicio, who plays the lead role of Cleo in Alfonso Cuaron's Spanish-language film, "Roma." The best actress nomination is quite spectacular seeing how "Roma" is the 25-year-old Aparicio's first film. She's actually a schoolteacher and auditioned for the part after accompanying her sister and wanted to try out for the role herself. Aparicio is now the second Mexican actress and first indigenous person to land an best actress Oscar nomination. Here she is pictured at the 2019 Golden Globes, where the movie won Best Foreign Language Film.

Ali first started to act in movies at age 29, and in 2017, he became the first Muslim actor to win an Academy Award for "Moonlight." Here he is pictured walking the Oscars red carpet in 2017, before winning the award, and on the red carpet in 2019, also before winning.

Adam Driver was up for his first Oscar for his role of Detective Philip "Flip" Zimmerman in Spike Lee's "BlacKkKlansman." Driver, who started acting in movies at age 28, first gained prominence for his performance in HBO series "Girls" in 2012, but earned widespread recognition for his role as Kylo Ren in the new "Star Wars" trilogy beginning in 2015. Win or lose, this nomination solidifies the 35-year-old as one of the fastest-rising stars in Hollywood. Here he is seen in 2012, the year he first starred in "Girls," and making his Oscars red carpet debut in 2019.

After a long and storied career, Sam Elliott was up for his first Oscar this year. The 74-year-old's deep drawl makes him a perfect candidate for Westerns, where he built up a steady portfolio when he first started his film career at age 23. In fact, Bradley Cooper has said Elliott's voice is so iconic that he studied it when developing his "A Star Is Born" character Jackson Maine. In the film, Elliott plays the older brother to Maine, with whom he has a contentious relationship. Here Elliott is pictured at the Oscars in 2000 and in 2019.

Despite a roster of nearly 70 films, this was the 61-year-old Grant's first Oscar nomination and he was over the moon. The versatile actor was nominated for best supporting actor for his performance as Jack in "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" Upon hearing the news of his nomination, Grant posted a video on Twitter from the Notting Hill flat he used to live in nearly 36 years ago. "I can't believe that I'm standing here ... having an Oscar nomination." Grant, who started acting in movies at age 30, is pictured attending the BAFTAs in 1999 and making his Oscars red carpet debut in 2019.

Last year, the 50-year-old won best supporting actor in "Three Billboards Outside Ebbings, Missouri." This year, he was up for an award in the same category for his portrayal of George W. Bush in Adam McKay's biopic, "Vice." Here Rockwell is seen the red carpet for the 2010 Oscars Governors Ball and on the 2019 Oscars red carpet.

King, 48, who started acting in films when she was 20, pledged in her Globes acceptance speech to hire at least 50 percent women for all future projects and called on others in Hollywood to do the same. Here King is seen walking the Oscars red carpet in 2005 and in 2019.
