The 2024 Oscars: Revealing the Most Startling Snubs and Pleasant Surprises Among the Nominations.

It’s time to fire up your Oscars ballots, folks. On Tuesday morning, Zazie Beetz and Jack Quaid announced the nominees for the 2024 Academy Awards.

Surprise, surprise: Oppenheimer led the field with 13 nominations. The film about theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer was recognized for Best Picture, Best Director (Christopher Nolan), Best Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Supporting Actress (Emily Blunt), Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.), Cinematography, Adapted Screenplay, Costume Design, Original Score, Makeup & Hairstyling, Editing, Sound, and Production Design.

Meanwhile, Poor Things exceeded expectations with 11 nominations, while Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon garnered 10 nominations. In what’s easily the biggest shocker of the morning, Barbie failed to break double digits at this year’s Academy Awards, with just eight nominations in total. Though the film was nominated for Best Picture, director Greta Gerwig and star Margot Robbie were both snubbed from the field. However, Ryan Gosling was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, America Ferrera was tapped for Best Supporting Actress, and Gerwig earned a nod for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Other big winners include American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, Maestro, Past Lives, Poor Things, and The Zone of InterestThey’ll compete against Barbie and Oppenheimer for Best Picture. Paul Giamatti and Cillian Murphy will square off in the Best Actor race, alongside Maestro‘s Bradley Cooper, Rustin‘s Colman Domingo, and American Fiction‘s Jeffrey Wright. Leonardo DiCaprio’s exclusion from the Best Supporting Actor list may come as a shock, but the actor has always had a strange relationship with the Academy Awards. Remember, he had to fight a bear in 2015’s The Revenant to finally win the coveted award. With Margot Robbie out of the Best Actress race, this year’s awards-season mainstays—Flower Moon‘s Lily Gladstone and Poor Things‘ Emma Stone—are now joined by Maestro‘s Carey Mulligan, Nyad‘s Annette Bening, and Anatomy of a Fall‘s Sandra Huller.

Elsewhere in the field, Best International Feature Film nominations included Wim Wenders’s Perfect Days (Japan), Society of the Snow (Spain), The Zone of Interest (UK), The Teacher’s Lounge (Germany), and lo capitano (Italy). Anatomy of a Fall—which is up for Best Picture—and France’s other critically acclaimed film of the year, The Taste of Things, both fell short. Many Best Documentary Feature titles came as a surprise, including nominations for Bobi Wine: The People’s PresidentThe Eternal Memory, Four Daughters, To Kill a Tiger, and the timely 20 Days in Mariupol.

In the Best Animated Feature competition, Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy and the Heron, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Pixar’s Elemental, Netflix’s Nimona, and surprise international contender Robot Dreams will duke it out. As for Best Original Song, Barbie‘s I’m Just Ken” and Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” will battle it out for the golden statue. They’ll see competition from “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)” from Killers of the Flower Moon, It Never Went Away” from American Symphony, and The Fire Inside” from the Eva Longoria-directed Flamin’ Hot.

Other snubs include the performance of May December, which received praise for Charles Melton, Natalie Portman, and Juliane Moore’s turns, only to walk away with one Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay. The Color Purple also received just one nomination for Best Supporting Actress (Danielle Brooks). FerrariAsteroid CityPriscillaNapoleon, AIR, Bottoms, Origin, and All of Us Strangers were completely excluded from the final list of nominations.

The 96th Academy Awards will air on ABC on March 10, with Jimmy Kimmel hosting for the fourth time.
