Your support makes all the difference.The Oscars 2024 nominations have just been announced, with some surprises and lots of snubs.
On Tuesday (23 January), the latest round of nominations were revealed during a live stream hosted by Zazie Beetz (Atlanta, Joker) and Jack Quaid (The Boys, Oppenheimer) in Los Angeles.
The movies, actors, directors and writers competing to get their hands on the prized Oscar statuette were announced one week after the Bafta nominations were unveiled in the UK.
The films in contention for awards include Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, which swept the board at both the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards earlier this month, as well as its blockbuster rival Barbie, directed by Greta Gerwig, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon and Poor Things, starring Emma Stone.
Some of the shock omissions include Gerwig, who did not earn a Best Director nod, Barry Keoghan for his performance in Saltburn, and May December star Charles Melton.
This year’s Oscars ceremony will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, and will take place on 10 March.

There’s also some fan outrage on behalf of Barry Keoghan, the star of Emerald Fennell’s wildly divisive Saltburn, who was not on this year’s list of Best Actor nominees.
“barry keoghan improvised that grave scene and did some of the wildest things in saltburn just not to get nominated??” one fan wrote.
Another person wrote: “Well Done to Cillian Murphy on the nom...disappointed for Andrew Scott and Barry Keoghan”
Lily Gladstone has made Oscars history!

Oppenheimer leads Oscar nominations pack as Barbie receives shock snubs
Oppenheimer has just fallen short of achieving Oscars history despite amassing 13 nominations to become the year’s most-recognised film.
Director Christopher Nolan is in the running to win his first ever Oscar for the epic detailing the invention of the atomic bomb, which received nominations on Tuesday (23 January) for Best Picture and Best Director, as well as acting nods for Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr.
Should Oppenheimer have received one more nomination, it would have matched the record held by films including All About Eve, Titanic and La La Land.

The 8 biggest snubs and surprises, from Margot Robbie to Leonardo DiCaprio
It’s a question rarely asked, but... are this year’s Oscar nominations actually good? On Tuesday, the line-up for the 2024 Academy Awards was announced, and they’re comfortably the strongest set of nominees in years.
There may have been a lack of surprise surrounding some of the big hitters – such as Christopher Nolan’s nuclear biopic Oppenheimer, with 13 nods, Yorgos Lanthimos’s bizarro fantasy Poor Things with 10, and Greta Gerwig’s vibrant Mattel toy adaptation Barbie with 8 – but the list wasn’t entirely without controversy.

The 10 best ‘loser’ reactions from actors at the Oscars
There’s surely no feeling in the world quite like winning an Oscar– that heady, unfiltered hit of professional validation that so many actors desperately crave.
But what of those who aren’t so lucky? For every Oscar winner, there must be a handful of losers, deserving or sometimes undeserving also-rans whose work was collectively deemed to have fallen short.
While actors are often skilled at disguising their disappointment – this is show business, after all – sometimes they let their real feelings slip through.
Whether it’s via side-eye glances that seem to throw shade on the winner, or simply muttering expletives, there have been many Oscar losses that prompted reactions which live on in infamy.
