Unveiling the 2024 Oscar Nominations: A Diverse Celebration of Cinematic Excellence

In a momentous Oscar nomination ceremony, live from the iconic Samuel Goldwyn Theater, the 2024 nominations have set the stage for what promises to be a groundbreaking year in the world of cinema. Among the standout highlights are the historic nomination for Lily Gladstone, who has carved her place in the annals of film history. Oppenheimer and Poor Things lead the pack with an impressive thirteen and eleven nominations, respectively. Bradley Cooper, with a trio of nods, now boasts a lifetime total of twelve, yet both he and Greta Gerwig were notably absent from the best director category.

Zazie Beetz and Jack Quaid, dynamic presenters for the day, announced the nominations, unveiling a list that has sent shockwaves through Hollywood. The films heading into the nominations morning, including Oppenheimer, Barbie, Killers of the Flower Moon, Poor Things, and The Holdovers, had already displayed strength with major victories at the Critics Choice Awards and Golden Globes. Their widespread support from the guilds, comprising directors, actors, and producers—a significant portion of the Academy’s voting body—further solidified their standing.

However, the landscape was rich with contenders, each vying for a coveted spot among the nominees. Maestro and Past Lives, fellow best picture hopefuls, were in the race, alongside animated blockbusters such as The Boy and the Heron and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.
