Oppenheimer tops Oscar nominations

The Zone Of Interest

At long last, the 2024 Oscar nominations are in, and Oppenheimer is in the lead, with 13, while Poor Things and Killers Of The Flower Moon have ten each.

Zazie Beetz and Jack Quaid read out the lists of contenders to cheers from the audience, especially for unexpected choices like Robot Dreams (in the running for Best Animated Film) and Godzilla Minus One (Best Visual Effects). As expected, The Holdovers secured acting nominations and a place in the running for best Picture. Barbie also joined that prestigious list, picking up a total of nine nominations, and there was a strong showing by UK contender The Zone Of Interest.

"It's a profound wave of emotion and pride that we're experiencing today," said Vincent René-Lortie and Samuel Caron, director and producer of short film Invincible. "We could never have hoped that one day our film would be nominated for an Oscar. This is a childhood dream coming true, and we feel fortunate to have been chosen by the Academy among all the excellent films this year. And above all, a huge thank you to everyone who has supported the film since its beginnings."

"This is surreal and I am not sure I truly understand it: Oscar nominated! I think I'm going to pinch my arm for a few more days," said Lasse Noer, director of short film Knight Of Fortune. "Nonetheless, it's absolutely wonderful to see how the film has managed to leave an impression on audiences worldwide and has now also managed to hit Oscar Academy's hearts. I am forever grateful!"

The Oscars will be awarded on Sunday, 10 March at a ceremony in Los Angeles. This year the event will take place an hours earlier than usual, making it easier for viewers in the UK to watch.
