2024 Oscar Nominations, See the Full List

2023 was one of the best years for movies across multiple genres to satisfy just about any audience member. Today, the 2024 Oscar nominations have been revealed. To no surprise, Christopher Nolan’s hit biopic Oppenheimer swept with 13 nominations, and Greta Gerwig’s Barbie scored eight. The films to fill that gap were Poor Things with 11 and Killers of the Flower Moon with ten. Below, you can see what else was nominated and the specifics for the previously mentioned films.

Best Picture

This year, the Best Picture nominees have two special qualities. One, we have multiple films, mostly to entirely not at all in English, with The Zone of Interest (German and Polish), Past Lives (English and Korean), and Anatomy of a Fall (English, French, and German). The other is that we have the most women-directed films for the big award with Past Lives (Celine Song), Anatomy (Justine Triet), and Barbie (Gerwig).

• American Fiction
• Anatomy of a Fall
• Barbie
• The Holdovers
• Killers of the Flower Moon
• Maestro
• Oppenheimer
• Past Lives
• Poor Things
• The Zone of Interest

Best Actress

The 2024 Oscar nominations for Best Actress had few surprises, with the exception of Nyad‘s Annette Bening and the snub of Margot Robbie for Barbie. We also have Lily Gladstone as the first Native American person to be up for a best acting award at the Academy Awards.

• Annette Bening, Nyad
• Lily Gladstone, Killers of the Flower Moon
• Sandra Hüller, Anatomy of a Fall
• Carey Mulligan, Maestro
• Emma Stone, Poor Things

Best Actor

We got a line of the best leading men of the year. Cillian Murphy gets a nod for being the lead in one of the year’s biggest films with Oppenheimer, Bradley Cooper did extra work as a director for Maestro, so it was fitting to see him get the nod here, and Colman Domingo is on a hot streak with The Color Purple and Rustin, the latter of which is what he received the nomination.

• Bradley Cooper, Maestro
• Colman Domingo, Rustin
• Paul Giamatti, The Holdovers
• Cillian Murphy, Oppenheimer
• Jeffrey Wright, American Fiction

Best Supporting Actress

Some crossover has happened for Best Actor and Actress for Best Supporting Actress, but the 2024 Oscar nominations for this category shook things up by giving The Color Purple a place in one of the acting categories.

• Emily Blunt, Oppenheimer
• Danielle Brooks, The Color Purple
• America Ferrera, Barbie
• Jodie Foster, Nyad
• Da’Vine Joy Randolph, The Holdovers

Best Supporting Actor

The usual suspects were given nominations for Best Supporting Actor. To note, Ryan Gosling received a nomination like Ferrera for a supporting role in Barbie, while no leading nod was given to Robbie.

• Sterling K. Brown, American Fiction
• Robert De Niro, Killers of the Flower Moon
• Robert Downey Jr., Oppenheimer
• Ryan Gosling, Barbie
• Mark Ruffalo, Poor Things

Best Director

Most of the Best Picture directors were given Oscar nominations for Best Director. However, you will notice a major vacancy for Gerwig and Song as only one woman is nominated here, despite the representation in the Best Picture category.

• Justine Triet, Anatomy of a Fall
• Martin Scorsese, Killers of the Flower Moon
• Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer
• Yorgos Lanthimos, Poor Things

• Maestro, Matthew Libatique
• Oppenheimer, Hoyte van Hoytema

• It Never Went Away, American Symphony
• Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People), Killers of the Flower Moon
