The Oscars nominations for the 2024 Academy Awards were announced today. “Oppenheimer” got the most nominations with 13, while “Poor Things” got 11. People are excited because movies like “Barbenheimer” and Christopher Nolan’s World War II movie did really well at the box office.
There were some surprises in the nominations. Greta Gerwig, who directed “Barbie,” didn’t get nominated for best director, but she and Noah Baumbach got recognized for their screenplay. Margot Robbie, who starred in “Barbie” and produced the best picture nominee, didn’t get nominated for her acting. Ryan Gosling, who played Ken in the movie, was disappointed about this. Leonardo DiCaprio, who was in “Killers of the Flower Moon,” also didn’t get nominated for acting.
But there were some historic nominations too. Lily Gladstone, who acted with DiCaprio, became the first Native American nominated for best actress. America Ferrera, known for “Barbie,” got a best supporting actress nomination after being left out at the Golden Globes. Justine Triet also made history as the eighth woman nominated for best director for “Anatomy of a Fall.”
The award show will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel for the fourth time. It’s going to be an exciting night!
