Los Angeles, Jan 30:
The unveiling of this year’s Oscars nominations marks a significant milestone in the ongoing film awards
season, following closely on the heels of the Golden Globes and Bafta nominations last week. The
Academy Awards, often regarded as the pinnacle of cinematic recognition, hold a unique status that sets
them apart from other prestigious awards ceremonies.
Notably, the Oscars remain a Hollywood spectacle that British terrestrial TV deems worthy of
broadcasting, and recent events like the Will Smith incident have demonstrated the awards’ enduring
influence in shaping news agendas.
Leading the pack is Christopher Nolanâ s Oppenheimer secures an impressive 13 nominations
spanning various categories, including acting, directing, and technical achievements. Yorgos Lanthimos’s
lively and provocative “Poor Things” closely follows with 11 nominations, while Martin Scorsese’s late-
career masterpiece, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” garners 10 nominations.
The Barbenheimer juggernaut, represented by the film “Barbie,” secures recognition in the Best Picture
category, despite Greta Gerwig’s directing efforts going unnoticed. Andrew Haigh’s poignant “All of Us
Strangers” unfortunately comes away empty-handed.
