It's one of the biggest film moments of the year: this year's Oscar nominations have just been announced, shocking and thrilling movie fans around the world as their favourite actors and films get a nod for their incredible work.
Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer looked poised to steal the show after picking up numerous awards at the Critics Choice and Golden Globe awards earlier this month, but there were also high expectations for Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon and Bradley Cooper's Maestro. May December, The Holdovers and Saltburn had also been creating a lot of buzz. Some wondered if Greta Gerwig's Barbie would make a splash, but it also scooped multiple nominations including one for Best Picture.
"In a year when a film full of men talking about physics is by far the biggest deal (and in which the movie's two women, who lit it up like an atom bomb during their very limited screentime, have been paid very little attention) it seems likely that the awards are going to be a bit of a sausage-fest. Again," said the Standard's culture editor, Nancy Durrant, musing on the approaching announcement this morning.
