NEW YORK — The 2023 Academy Awards nominations were announced today, and the competition is fierce. Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” leads the pack with 13 nominations, including best picture, best director, and acting nods for Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., and Emily Blunt.
But Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” is not far behind, with eight nominations, including best picture and best supporting actor for Ryan Gosling. The film also boasts two best-song candidates in “What Was I Made For” and “I’m Just Ken.” However, Gerwig was surprisingly left out of the best director field.
Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” and Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” also received multiple nominations, with “Poor Things” landing 11 nods and “Killers of the Moon” nominated for 10 Oscars.
One of the most notable nominations is Lily Gladstone, star of “Killers of the Flower Moon,” who became the first Native American nominated for best actress. Additionally, Leonardo DiCaprio was left out of the best actor category, despite the film’s success.
The 10 films nominated for best picture are: “Oppenheimer,” “Barbie,” “Poor Things,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “The Holdovers,” “Maestro,” “American Fiction,” “Past Lives,” ”Anatomy of a Fall,” and ”The Zone of Interest.”
With a diverse range of films and talent, the 2023 Academy Awards are sure to be an exciting event. Stay tuned for the winners on March 10th!
