Oscar Nominations 2024: The 96th Academy Award nominations have ignited the season’s burning question: Will it be the era of “Barbie” or “Oppenheimer”? With 8 nods for “Barbie” and 13 for “Oppenheimer,” the elusive answer playfully coined as “Barbenheimer” keeps us guessing. Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” steals the spotlight with a commanding 13 nominations, closely trailed by Emma Stone’s fantasy film “Poor Things” at 11 and Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” securing 10. The summer sensation “Barbie” claims eight nominations.
As the Oscar Nominations 2024 unveiled, powerhouses like Oppenheimer, Barbie, Killers of the Flower Moon, Poor Things, and The Holdovers showcased their might, having clinched top honors at the Critics Choice Awards and Golden Globes. These films found favor among guilds—directors, actors, and producers—constituting a significant Academy voting bloc. Amidst these stalwarts, contenders like Maestro and Past Lives, alongside animated gems The Boy and the Heron and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, sought their moment in the limelight.
