Academy Awards 2023 nominations - complete list

Here are the complete list of the Academy Awards 2023 nominees.

Everything Everywhere All At Once overperforms here, getting surprising (yet quite deserving) nominations in Best Costume Design and Best Original Score. Could this strong showing be an indicator of widespread love and support from all the branches of the Academy, which might lead to a Best Picture win? I believe so. Still in the running for the top prize, The Banshees of Inisherin also managed to get all the key nominations that show strong support from the Academy branches and so did Tár! As for Elvis... a strong showing in the technical categories, just like All Quiet On the Western Front which also got a deserving (yet still kinda surprising) Best Adapted Screenplay nomination - getting its title already engraved in the Best International Film Oscar trophy.

I am also quite happy about some nominations: Women Talking in Best Picture (its chances were fading in the last weeks); Paul Mescal for Best Actor for Aftersun; Stephanie Hsu for Everything Everywhere All At Once; Florian Hoffmeister (Tár) for Best Cinematography (never underestimate the Golden Frog of Camerimage, guys!!!); "This Is a Life" from Everything Everywhere All At Once for Best Original Song; and, OF COURSE, Ice Merchants for Best Animated Short Film!
