The nominations for the 2024 Oscars were announced today (January 23) with Cristopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” leading the list with 13 nominations, closely followed by “Poor Things” with 11.
The 96th annual Academy Awards follow an incredibly successful year for cinemas worldwide, as “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie” together grossed more than $2 billion globally, a remarkable achievement considering the pandemic crisis and the growing competition of online streaming platforms.
While America Ferrera received an unexpected nomination for playing Gloria in “Barbie,” the film’s protagonist, Margot Robbie, and its director, Greta Gerwig, were surprisingly absent from the Best Actress and Best Director lists, respectively.
