Oscar Nominations List 2024: ‘Oppenheimer’ Leads the Nominees

2023 was quite the year for cinema, with records smashed and the quality of some of Hollywood’s best work pushing new boundaries. Now, the time to recognise those achievements has come, as the nominations for the 96th Academy Awards have just been announced, with Oppenheimer, Barbie, Killers of the Flower Moon and Poor Things the big names on the ballot, as expected.

All four films are represented in the big hitter categories, with the likes of Christopher Nolan, Robert Downey Jr., Cillian Murphy, Ryan Gosling, Lily Gladstone and Emma Stone up for awards. As ever, there were plenty of expected nominations but the excitement always comes with the surprise nods, which we got in sensational fashion this morning after Sandra Hüller and Colman Domingo received nominations in the acting categories.

Voting for the awards winners will take place between Thursday, February 22 and Tuesday, February 27. The show will be broadcast on March 10, live on ABC, and will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. The full list can be seen down below:
