‘Oppenheimer’ Leads 2024 Oscar Nominations with 13 Nods – Full List Unveiled!

In a groundbreaking revelation, the World War II drama “Oppenheimer” has emerged as the front-runner in the 2024 Oscar nominations, securing an impressive 13 nods. The shortlist for the 96th Academy Awards, announced on Tuesday (23.01.24), showcases the film, starring Cillian Murphy as the renowned theoretical physicist, at the forefront of the prestigious event.

The film has earned nominations across major categories, including Best Picture, with filmmaker Christopher Nolan contending for Best Director, and Cillian Murphy nominated for Actor in a Leading Role. Murphy faces formidable competition in his category, including Bradley Cooper for ‘Maestro,’ Colman Domingo for ‘Rustin,’ Paul Giamatti for ‘The Holdovers,’ and Jeffrey Wright for ‘American Fiction.’ The Actress in a Leading Role category includes notable performances by Lily Gladstone, Annette Bening, Sandra Hüller, and Carey Mulligan.

Following closely behind with 11 nominations is the comedy ‘Poor Things,’ starring Emma Stone as a woman brought back to life by an unorthodox scientist. Other top contenders include ‘The Holdovers,’ ‘Killers of the Flower Moon,’ and ‘Barbie.’

After a summer showdown with Greta Gerwig’s ‘Barbie,’ which grossed nearly $1.5 billion at the box office compared to ‘Oppenheimer’s’ $953.8 million, the two films are set to go head-to-head once again for the coveted Best Picture award. Other nominees in this category include ‘American Fiction,’ ‘Anatomy of a Fall,’ ‘The Holdovers,’ ‘Maestro,’ ‘Past Lives,’ and ‘The Zone of Interest.’

‘Barbie’ received a total of eight nods, with Ryan Gosling nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. Additionally, the character Ken’s song ‘I’m Just Ken’ is up for Best Original Song, alongside the Billie Eilish track ‘What Was I Made For?’ featured in the closing section of the film.

The 96th Academy Awards ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, March 10, 2024.
