Oscar Nominees 2024: Oppenheimer And Poor Things Lead Nominations – Read The Full List

Oscars 2024

After dominating the categories at the BAFTA nominations last week, Oppenheimer’s momentum in awards season continues: the Oscar nominees for 2024 have been unveiled, and Christopher Nolan’s atomic bomb biopic has received the highest number of nominations. The three-hour historical drama that blew up the box office has been hailed across 13 categories at this year’s awards – including Best Picture, Directing, Leading Actor for Cillian Murphy, Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr., Supporting Actress for Emily Blunt, and Adapted Screenplay.

Hot on Oppenheimer’s heels is Poor Things, with 11 nominations. Yorgos Lanthimos picked up a Directing nomination, with Emma Stone up for Leading Actress, and Mark Ruffalo up for Supporting Actor – plus the film is in the running for Best Picture, and Adapted Screenplay. Killers Of The Flower Moon also fared well with 10 nominations – including Martin Scorsese for Directing and Lily Gladstone for Leading Actress (both missed in the BAFTA nominations), and Robert De Niro for Supporting Actor. Barbie received eight nominations – including Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay, as well as Ryan Gosling for Supporting Actor, and America Ferrera for Supporting Actress. However, Greta Gerwig was missed on the Directing front, while Margot Robbie also (somehow) missed out on Leading Actress.

Elsewhere, The Zone Of Interest fared well – it’s nominated in five categories, including Best Picture, Directing, International Feature Film, and Adapted Screenplay – as did Anatomy Of A Fall. Justine Triet’s French-language thriller saw her nominated for Directing, with the film among the lists for Best Picture and Original Screenplay as well as a nod for Sandra Hüller for Leading Actress. Cord Jefferson’s American Fiction is also up for Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay, with Jeffrey Wright nominated for Leading Actor, and Sterling K. Brown for Supporting Actor. And The Holdovers was another five-time nominee, including recognition for Paul Giamatti in Leading Actor, Da’Vine Joy Randolph for Supporting Actress, and Original Screenplay.

Studio Ghibli fans should be pleased to see The Boy And The Heron rubbing shoulders alongside Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse and Nimona in the Animated Feature Film category (though Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem missed out). John Williams continues to be lauded as an all-time great composer, receiving a Score nomination for Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny. Barbie is dominating the Original Song category, with ‘I’m Just Ken’ and ‘What Was I Made For?’ going toe-to-toe (alongside ‘The Fire Inside’, from Cheeto movie Flamin’ Hot). Godzilla Minus One has been nominated for Visual Effects, in acknowledgement of its astonishing city-smashing sequences. And Wes Anderson received a nomination in the Live-Action Short Film category for his Roald Dahl adaptation The Wonderful Story Of Henry Sugar.

The Boy And The Heron

The biggest snub seems to be All Of Us Strangers, which largely missed out on nominations – though Greta Lee also went unrecognised for her performance in Past Lives, and there was a smaller showing for The Color Purple than expected. Plus, momentum for breakout performers Dominic Sessa in The Holdovers and Charles Melton in May December didn’t translate in nominations on the day.

Expect the conversation to continue until the Oscars 2024 ceremony unfolds at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday 10 March. In the meantime, pore over the full list of nominees below, and prepare to place your bets:
