The nominations for the Academy Awards 2024 were announced last Tuesday (January 23th) and while Oppenheimer leads as the most nominated movie of the year, there were a few shocking misses and some welcome inclusions.
In fact, last Tuesday's announcement came with a couple of surprises: no Greta Gerwig in Best Director for Barbie (something I had always predicted, but the internet wasn't ready for ), Killers of the Flower Moon missing Best Adapted Screenplay, but The Zone of Interest gets nominated there; two international films in the Best Picture lineup (Anatomy of a Fall and The Zone of Interest); John Williams got nominated for his score for the latest installment of Indiana Jones (like... REALLY?); Napoleon gets nominated in 3 craft categories; Past Lives makes the Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay, but somehow misses Best Actress for Greta Lee...; No Saltburn, no Asteroid City, no Fallen Leaves, The Iron Claw or John Wick: Chapter 4...!; May December is our sole screenplay nominee film of the year, which means Charles Melton misses Best Supporting Actor for one of the best performances of the year and his co-stars Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman also fail to land nods; and... The Boy and the Heron and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse only get in Best Animated Feature despite both animated features being deserving of some recognition in other categories.
