BRIEFINGS INDUSTRY
And the nominees are...
T he winners of the 96th Academy Awards will be announced on 10 March, during a ceremony at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood. Airing live on ABC at 7pm ET, the event will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and shown in more than 200 territories around the world. All eyes will be on Oppenheimer this year, after Nolan’s epic swept the nominations list with a whopping 13 noms including best picture, best director and three acting nods. Poor Things is the next most-nominated film this year, scooping 11, followed by Killers of the Flower Moon with ten. Despite outcry over the Barbie 'snub', Greta Gerwig’s blockbusting
picture still picked up a respectable eight nominations, including best picture, acting nods for both America Ferrera and Ryan Gosling, plus recognition in the best adapted screenplay, costume design and production design categories. In perhaps one of the most controversial votes, Gerwig failed to receive a nomination for best director – a category which has only included eight women in the Oscars’ nearly century-long history (including Justine Triet, who picked up a nomination this year for her work on Anatomy of a Fall ). Turn to page 81 for our rundown on some of the event’s other notable controversies over the years.
