Academy Award nominations were announced early Tuesday and Oppenheimer, the thriller about the making of the atomic bomb written and directed by Christopher Nolan, leads the charge with 13 nods, including for Best Picture and Best Director.
Poor Things, starring Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef and Mark Ruffalo, picked up 11 nominations, including a Best Actress nomination for Stone and Best Director nod for Yorgos Lanthimos.
While Barbie received eight nominations, the movie was notably overlooked in the Best Director category for Greta Gerwig, and Margot Robbie did not receive a nomination for her portrayal of America’s favorite doll in the Best Actress category. Ryan Gosling, however, received a nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his portrayal of Ken and America Ferrera’s much talked about monologue in Barbie did not go unnoticed either. She received a Best Actress in a Supporting Role nod.

Lily Gladstone, of Siksikaitsitapi and NiMíiPuu heritage, made history by becoming the first Native American person to be nominated in the Best Actress category for her portrayal of Mollie Kyle in Killers of the Flower Moon. The movie, directed by Martin Scorsese, is about the murders of Osage members in Oklahoma after white people discovered oil on native land.
Others making history were Colman Domingo and Jodie Foster. Domingo was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role for Rustin and Foster for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Nyad making it the first time LGBTQIA+ actors were nominated for portraying LGBTQIA+ roles.
With twin strikes by the actors and writers dominating much of Hollywood in 2023, this year’s other big winner was streaming platforms. Netflix scored 18 nominations, while Apple walked away with 13.
