Oscar nominations 2024: Oppenheimer and Poor Things lead full list pack

Oscars nominations announced, with Oppenheimer leading the pack. Unique caché of the Academy Awards still holds power in shaping news.

The highly anticipated Oscars nominations have finally been revealed, marking the official start of the 2024 film awards season. The Oscars hold a special place in the world of entertainment, with a level of prestige that sets them apart from other award shows. The recent Will Smith incident at the Golden Globes only further proves the influence and impact of the Academy Awards on the industry.

Leading the pack with an impressive 13 nominations is Oppenheimer, making waves across various categories including acting, directing, and technical achievements. Following closely behind are Yorgos Lanthimos's provocative film Poor Things with 11 nominations, and Martin Scorsese's acclaimed Killers of the Flower Moon with 10 nods. However, the highly anticipated Barbie fell short in many categories, only securing a Best Picture nomination, while Greta Gerwig's directing efforts went unnoticed. Andrew Haigh's All of Us Strangers also left empty-handed.

The 96th Academy Awards will feature 23 categories, with nominations announced by Zazie Beetz and Jack Quaid. The ceremony, set to be hosted by comedian Jimmy Kimmel, will air this Sunday night on ABC in the US and ITV in the UK.

Some notable nominations include Justine Triet and Arthur Harari for Anatomy of a Fall, Billie Eilish and Finneas for What Was I Made For? from Barbie, Jon Batiste for It Never Went Away from American Symphony, and Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People) from Killers of the Flower Moon. The excitement is palpable as Hollywood gears up for another unforgettable Oscars ceremony.
