The Academy Awards nominations, announced on Tuesday, January 23, showered praise on Christopher Nolan's blockbuster biopic, Oppenheimer, which came away with a leading 13 nominations. The ceremony, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, will be broadcast on March 10.
Nolan's three-hour opus received nods for best picture; Nolan's direction; acting nominations for Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt; and multiple honors for the craft of Nolan's J. Robert Oppenheimer drama.
Greta Gerwig's Barbie wasn't far behind with eight nominations, including nods for best picture; Ryan Gosling for best supporting actor; and two best-song candidates in "What Was I Made For" and "I'm Just Ken." But Gerwig was surprisingly left out of the best director field.
Both Martin Scorsese's Osage epic Killers of the Flower Moon and Yorgos Lanthimos' Frankenstein riff Poor Things were also widely celebrated. Poor Things landed 11 nods, while Killers of the Moon was nominated for 10 Oscars. Lily Gladstone, star of Killers of the Flower Moon, became the first Native American nominated for best actress. For the 10th time, Scorsese was nominated for best director. Leonardo DiCaprio, though, was left out of best actor.
