Preview:

  • ‘Oppenheimer’, ‘The Holdovers’ and ‘Past Lives’ are in contention for Oscars.
  • Greta Gerwig for direction and Margot Robbie as actress were surprising omissions.
  • The ceremony happens on March 10th

The 96th Academy Awards will be upon us in a couple of months, and the big film prize had actors Zazie Beetz and Jack Quaid announce its nominees for the various categories Tuesday morning.

As predicted, awards season favorites such as ‘Oppenheimer’, ‘Barbie’, ‘The Holdovers’ and ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ have all done well, though many were surprised when ‘Barbie’ director Greta Gerwig and lead actor Margot Robbie were not nominated.

Christopher Nolan, who many are predicting will take home Best Director, saw ‘Oppenheimer’ dominate the nominations, as his story of the father of the atomic bomb earned 13 nods.

‘Poor Things’ was second with 11, while Martin Scorsese’s ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ earned 10 and ‘Barbie’ eight. Scorsese becomes the oldest and most nominated director, while his ‘Flower Moon’ actor Lily Gladstone is the first Native American acting nominee (star Leonardo DiCaprio, on the other hand, did not score a nomination).
