The biopic of scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer scored the most nominations for an individual film since The Shape Of Water in 2018.

Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things recorded the second-most nominations with 11; while Martin Scorsese’s Killers Of The Flower Moon came third with 10.

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, the highest-grossing film of 2023, took eight nominations including best supporting actress for America Ferrara; although Gerwig was not selected in best director.

Anatomy Of A Fall director Justine Triet did make it in that category, as one of five nominations for the film; as did UK director Jonathan Glazer for The Zone Of Interest, which also recorded five.

The nominations in all 23 categories were announced in a two-part presentation by actors Zazie Beetz and Jack Quaid.

The event began with a short speech by Academy president Janet Yang, who described Oscar nominations as “one of the most exciting days of the year.”

The 2024 Oscars will take place on March 10 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
