Among the highlights for the Oscar nominations announced on Tuesday: 13 nominations for Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer; director Martin Scorsese gets nominated for the tenth time for Killers of the Flower Moon; Margot Robbie is ignored for Actress in a Leading Role for Barbie.

Barbie director Greta Gerwig too was shut out of the Best Director category despite the comedy about the Mattel doll earning a billion dollars at the global box office. As Deadline put it: “...do you think the beloved and rule breaking blockbuster directed itself? Asking for a friend.”

While Indians or Indian-origin filmmakers were prominent at the 2023 Oscars, a single Indian-themed production was nominated this year. Nisha Pahuja, the Canadian-Indian director of The World Before Her, is among the five nominees in the Documentary Feature Film category. Pahuja’s To Kill a Tiger explores a Jharkhand family’s attempt to get justice for their teenaged daughter, who has been gang-raped.

The Oscars, organised by the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences, will be held on March 10 in Los Angeles. Jimmy Kimmel will host the ceremony. Nearly 11,000 voters will weigh in on nominations across 23 categories.

Nolan’s Oppenheimer, about American nuclear Robert J Oppenheimer’s involvement in building the nuclear bomb that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, earned nods in heavy-hitting categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, Adapted Screenplay, Actor in a Leading Role (Cillian Murphy), Actor in a Supporting Role (Robert Downey Jr) and Actress in a Supporting Role (Emily Blunt).
