Following six months of intense anticipation in the awards arena, the nominations for the 2024 Oscars have brought a glimmer of victory to what has been one of the most anticipated Hollywood showdowns of the year between Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” and Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” In a stunning turn of events, “Oppenheimer” emerged victorious with an impressive total of 13 nominations.
Dominating the Oscar race, “Oppenheimer” surged ahead in the nominations announced on Tuesday morning, securing spots in categories like Best Picture, Best Director for Nolan, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr., and Best Supporting Actress for Emily Blunt. Meanwhile, Gerwig’s “Barbie,” which received eight nominations, garnered attention for different reasons, particularly with America Ferrera’s unexpected nomination for Best Supporting Actress and Gerwig’s absence from the Best Director category, where Justine Triet for “Anatomy of a Fall” and Jonathan Glazer for “The Zone of Interest” likely secured spots. Despite Margot Robbie’s omission from the Best Actress category, she received recognition for her role as a producer of the acclaimed Best Picture-nominated film.
Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” secured the second-highest number of nominations with an impressive tally of 11 nods, a feat that also led to Emma Stone earning a dual nomination this year. Additionally, Stone serves as a producer for the film, adding to her recognition in the Best Actress category.
Meanwhile, Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” received 10 nominations, although it notably missed out on the screenplay category. Nevertheless, Lily Gladstone’s nomination for Best Actress marked a significant milestone as she became the first Native American woman to be recognized in this category.
Presented by Zazie Beetz from “Joker” and Jack Quaid from “The Boys,” the unveiling of the 2024 Oscar nominations followed a competitive awards season filled with the ascent and decline of numerous prominent contenders, ranging from Cord Jefferson’s “American Fiction” to Celine Song’s “Past Lives” and Bradley Cooper’s “Maestro.”
In the lead-up to the nominations announcement, Christopher Nolan’s historical drama “Oppenheimer” dominated the precursor awards circuit, securing top honors at prestigious events like the Golden Globes and the Critics Choice Awards. Additionally, it led the nominations list from the British Academy, which shares membership with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and received significant recognition from the Screen Actors Guild.
The winners will be unveiled during ABC’s live ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday, March 10, 2024, with Jimmy Kimmel returning as the host.
