The Academy Award nominations had been introduced earlier at the moment – main the pack is Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer with 13 nominations, adopted by Poor Things with 11 nominations, Killers of the Flower Moon with 10 nominations, and Barbie with a disappointing 8 nominations. (Also learn: Oscars 2024 full list of nominations: Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer leads with 13 nods)

Four of the smaller movies that had been making waves in the previous couple of weeks – American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, and The Zone of Interest landed 5 nominations every, with robust showings in main classes.

Snubs

Greta Gerwig – One of two massive snubs at the moment, Greta Gerwig was shut out for her work on Barbie. Barbie’s lukewarm efficiency in any respect the precursor awards earlier this month indicated that there had been some kind of cooling off on the pink parade, but it surely’s nonetheless beautiful that Gerwig was not nominated. Gerwig would have develop into solely the second girl after Jane Campion to be nominated twice for Best Director. On the opposite hand, this virtually ensures a win for Gerwig and her writing companion, Noah Baumbach within the Adapted Screenplay class.

Margot Robbie – The different enormous snub of the day, Barbie merely doesn’t work with out Margot Robbie’s central efficiency as stereotypical Barbie. Her journey from plastic to human is actually one of the vital totally realized performances we now have seen in an extended whereas. How does Barbie make 1.5 billion {dollars} and land 8 nominations together with greatest image and not using a nomination for the titular function?

Leonardo DiCaprio – Leo shedding out on a Best Actor nomination appeared inevitable given the previous couple of weeks. He didn’t win any awards and he wasn’t nominated for a SAG Award, however the Academy may be very keen on him, so a nomination was potential. Now he’ll need to be content material with cheering on Lily Gladstone for the one potential win for Killers of the Flower Moon.

All of Us Strangers – Andrew Haigh’s shifting story of affection, loss, and lonely childhoods had an incredible exhibiting on the BAFTAs with 6 nominations. There was an out of doors likelihood at a nomination for Hot Priest Andrew Scott in Lead Actor, but it surely was already a really crowded area.

Saltburn –Saltburn was Emerald Fennell’s hotly anticipated follow-up to Promising Young Woman, which acquired 5 nominations together with Picture and Director, and received for Original Screenplay. The class satire opened to a blended reception, however there was some lingering hope for Rosamund Pike in Supporting Actress. The film won’t go unmentioned on the massive night time, the Oscar monologue is bound to reference the tub scene.

Surprises

America Ferrera – Ferrera was lastly given her due within the Best Supporting Actress class for Barbie. It’s simple to cut back her efficiency to that speech (which was excellent), however Ferrera additionally makes the remainder of her function work, from the comedic introduction to stereotypical Barbie to the surprise she feels when she first enters Barbieland. It’s a bittersweet shock given the extra egregious snubs.

American Fiction –The race satire had an incredible day with performing nominations for each Jeffrey Wright and Sterling Ok. Brown. Robert Downey Jr. has the supporting class locked down so Brown will not be going to win, but it surely’s nonetheless an achievement to be nominated and recognised on this stage. I wouldn’t rely Wright out but, there’s nonetheless an out of doors likelihood of some type of upset for Cillian Murphy. And writer-director Cord Jefferson’s nomination for Adapted Screenplay is welcome appreciation for the person who wrote the only greatest episode of tv ever, “This Extraordinary Being” from Watchmen.

Anatomy of a Fall – The French film concerning the elusive nature of the reality struck gold in main classes – Picture, Directing, Lead Actress, Original Screenplay, and Editing. And in true “there can be only one” vogue, the Academy swapped out Gerwig for Justine Triet within the Director class. Unfortunately, virtually all of those classes are already spoken for, and the perfect likelihood for the film to really win is within the Original Screenplay, a class it has already received on the Golden Globes.
