The British-American biographical drama narrates the story of a unique bond between the two titular characters - different in age, ethnicity, position and gender.

Victoria & Abdul is based on the book of same name by Shrabani Basu. The nominations for the 90th Academy Awards were announced on Tuesday. The award ceremony will be held on March 4.
