- Academy Awards: 8 nominations, 1 win[2](https://envelope.latimes.com/awards/titles/a-star-is-born/)
- BAFTAs: 7 nominations, 1 win[2](https://envelope.latimes.com/awards/titles/a-star-is-born/)

- Major awards in 2019: 24 nominations, 3 wins[2](https://envelope.latimes.com/awards/titles/a-star-is-born/)
- All awards combined: 99 wins, 387 nominations[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1517451/faq/)
- Franchise-wide Oscar record: 3 wins from 25 nominations across all four versions[9](https://www.goldderby.com/film/2019/a-star-is-born-oscars-what-every-version-won-nominated/)
The film also earned about $440 million at the worldwide box office, a figure the awards press cited in framing it as a commercial juggernaut as well as a critical one[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1517451/faq/) • [12](https://ew.com/awards/2018/11/27/2018-national-board-of-review-awards/).
## Campaign narrative and comparisons
At the start of the 2018 season, Entertainment Weekly described the Oscar race as running between three contenders: the "box office juggernaut" *A Star Is Born*, the prestige critical favorite *Roma*, and the "steadfast crowd-pleaser" *Green Book*[12](https://ew.com/awards/2018/11/27/2018-national-board-of-review-awards/). The film's National Board of Review haul, the most of any film that year, supported its early frontrunner standing[11](https://people.com/movies/lady-gaga-wins-best-actress-award-national-board-of-review-a-star-is-born/).
According to Gold Derby's retrospective, the campaign lost momentum after the film won only Best Original Song at the Golden Globes, which "kicked off a string of losses and snubs in the top categories from which it was never able to recover"[9](https://www.goldderby.com/film/2019/a-star-is-born-oscars-what-every-version-won-nominated/).
Against the film's earlier versions, the 2018 installment compiled the strongest Oscar record. The 1937 original received 7 nominations with 1 win (Best Original Story) plus an honorary award; the 1954 version received 6 nominations and no wins; and the 1976 version received 4 nominations and 1 win, for "Evergreen"[9](https://www.goldderby.com/film/2019/a-star-is-born-oscars-what-every-version-won-nominated/). The 2018 film's 8 nominations and 1 win brought the franchise to 3 competitive wins from 25 Oscar nominations[9](https://www.goldderby.com/film/2019/a-star-is-born-oscars-what-every-version-won-nominated/). It was also the first version of the story to earn three acting nominations, and the first since 1937 to earn a Best Picture nomination[9](https://www.goldderby.com/film/2019/a-star-is-born-oscars-what-every-version-won-nominated/).
