"Oppenheimer" went into the 2024 Oscars with a leading 13 nominations, followed by "Poor Things" with 11 nods. The 96th annual Academy Awards followed a year that saw the "Barbenheimer" phenomenon of "Barbie" and Christopher Nolan's epic World War II biopic pack movie theaters around the world with each raking in hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office.
This year's nominations weren't without its share of surprises, with no best director nod for Greta Gerwig for "Barbie" — though she and Noah Baumbach were nominated for the movie's adapted screenplay — and no acting nod for star Margot Robbie, who was also a producer for the best picture nominee. ("To say that I'm disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement," said Ryan Gosling, who was nominated for his role as Ken.) Past Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio, who starred in "Killers of the Flower Moon," also didn't receive an acting nod this year.
Meanwhile, DiCaprio's co-star Lily Gladstone was the first Native American nominated for best actress. America Ferrera scored a best supporting actress nomination for her performance in "Barbie" after she wasn't nominated for a Golden Globe, and Justine Triet was the eighth woman nominated for best director for "Anatomy of a Fall."
Jimmy Kimmel hosted the award show for the fourth time. Here is the full list of this year's Oscar nominees:
Nolan's drama about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the leader of the top-secret Manhattan Project that created the atomic bomb, won seven times at last month's BAFTA Film Awards — the U.K.'s version of the Oscars. "Poor Things," starring Emma Stone and directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, won five BAFTAs.
At the Golden Globes, "Oppenheimer" won five awards, including best drama motion picture. Nolan took home the Globe for best director. Cillian Murphy's portrayal of the title character earned him best actor in a drama, and co-star Robert Downey Jr. won best supporting actor.
First-time Globe nominee Lily Gladstone won best drama actress for her performance in Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon."
"Poor Things" won the Globe for best musical or comedy motion picture, and Stone won the category's best actress award. Paul Giamatti won best actor in a musical or comedy for Alexander Payne's "The Holdovers," and Giamatti's co-star Da'Vine Joy Randolph — another first-time Globe nominee — won best supporting actress.
"Barbie" was nominated for nine Globes, including best director. It won two, best original song for Billie Eilish's "What Was I Made For?" and the new award for cinematic and box office achievement.
