“Oppenheimer” led the 2024 Academy Award nominations on Tuesday with 13 nods for director Christopher Nolan’s film about the making of the nuclear bomb. It was followed by the fantastical drama “Poor Things” with 11 nominations, and the epic story of Native American murders, “Killers of the Flower Moon” with 10. But “Killers of the Flower Moon,” directed by Martin Scorsese, suffered two major snubs: lead actor Leonardo DiCaprio and the screenplay by Scorsese and co-writer Eric Roth.
Among the other notable snubs on Tuesday morning were “Barbie” director Greta Gerwig and star Margot Robbie (though Robbie was nominated as a lead producer for Best Picture, while Gerwig showed up in the adapted screenplay category), Willem Dafoe (“Poor Things”), and all actors from “May December,” notably Natalie Portman, Julianne Moore and Charles Melton.
Lack of recognition for “American Symphony” in the documentary feature category was also unexpected. Matthew Heineman’s well reviewed film about Jon Batiste preparing a musical opus while his wife, writer Suleika Jaouad, was in the hospital for cancer treatment was considered a shoo-in by many people, as was “Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie,” also shut out.
But perhaps more surprising were how many acclaimed or buzzy 2023 films received zero nominations. They include “All of Us Strangers,” “Asteroid City,” “Saltburn,” “The Taste of Things,” “Passages,” and “Showing Up.”
A few notable footnotes occurred, including Justin Triet becoming the eighth woman ever to break into the directing category, John Williams is again the oldest nominee in history at age 91 for scoring the newest “Indiana Jones” film, while Martin Scorsese is the oldest-ever directing nominee at 81 for “Killers of the Flower Moon.”
And on the topic of “Killers,” Lily Gladstone became the first-ever acting nominee for a Native American in Oscar history, while late composer and Scorsese friend Robbie Robertson earned his first Academy Award nomination posthumously. The musician passed away last August at age 80.
The 95th Oscars will take place on March 10, 2024 at the Dolby Theater and will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. The event will be telecast live on ABC.
