“Barbie” And “Oppenheimer” Lead Oscar Nominations But Margot Robbie Stiffed

The nominations for the 2024 Oscars were announced today (January 23) with Cristopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” leading the list with 13 nominations, closely followed by “Poor Things” with 11.

The 96th annual Academy Awards follow an incredibly successful year for cinemas worldwide, as “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie” together grossed more than $2 billion globally, a surprising figure following the crisis from the pandemic and the growing competition of online streaming platforms.

While America Ferrera received a surprising nomination for playing Gloria in Barbie, the film’s protagonist, Margot Robbie, was shut out, as was the movie’s director, Greta Gerwig.

The ceremony comes with a few history-making moments for the entertainment industry: at 81, Martin Scorsese became the oldest directing nominee.

Additionally, three best picture contenders — “Barbie,” “Anatomy of a Fall” and “Past Lives” — were directed by women for the first time.

Jimmy Kimmel will be in charge of hosting the ceremony for the fourth time on Sunday, March 10, 2024 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

Here is the list of this year’s Oscar nominees:
