“Roma” scored two surprising Oscar nominations Tuesday in two of the biggest categories: Yalitza Aparicio in Best Actress and Marina de Tavira in Best Supporting Actress. The dual acting bids make Aparicio and de Tavira, both Mexican, two of the few Latina actresses to be shortlisted by the academy.
Aparicio is just the fourth Latin American to be nominated in Best Actress, following Fernanda Montenegra, Salma Hayek and Catalina Sandino Moreno. Aparicio is just the second Mexican nominee after Hayek. None of the first three won.

There have been a few more Latina nominees in Best Supporting Actress. De Tavira joins Katy Jurado, Rita Moreno, Norma Aleandro, Adriana Barraza, Berenice Bejo and Lupita Nyong’o. Jurado, Barraza and Nyong’o are all Mexican-born, and Moreno and Nyong’o are the only winners.
