The Zone of Curiosity (James Wilson, Producer)

The Hollywood Reporter jogged my memory this morning that “The 2024 Oscars are the primary during which movies must meet two of four representation and inclusion standards so as to be eligible for the highest prize of finest image.”

Greatest Directing

Justine Triet (Anatomy of a Fall)
Martin Scorsese (Killers of the Flower Moon)
Christopher Nolan (Oppenheimer)
Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Issues)
Jonathan Glazer (The Zone of Curiosity)

Marty is now the most-nominated residing director and I’m certain he’s thrilled; that was a no brainer. The large snub right here is Greta Gerwig, clearly.

Greatest Actor in a Main Position

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

Appears like this one is between Murphy and Giamatti and possibly Jeffrey Wright however I’m extraordinarily excited to see what Colman Domingo wears. I forgot Leo was left off the listing till I acquired like ten textual content information alerts about this snub. He’s superb, you guys! (My sizzling take is that Leo ought to take a task in a comedy and provides us all a recent have a look at him. He might be humorous when he desires; see Wolf of Wall Avenue.)

Greatest Actress in a Main Position

Annette Bening (Nyad)
Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon)
Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall)
Carey Mulligan (Maestro)
Emma Stone (Poor Issues)

Huge snub right here in fact is the absence of Margot Robbie; having mentioned that, this was at all times between Emma Stone and Lily Gladstone, who’s the primary Native American to be nominated in an performing class. (Margot did get a producing nomination, so she can be there, anyway.) Nyad did properly with Academy voters.

Greatest Actor in a Supporting Position

Sterling Okay. Brown (American Fiction)
Robert De Niro (Killers of the Flower Moon)
Robert Downey Jr. (Oppenheimer)
Ryan Gosling (Barbie)
Mark Ruffalo (Poor Issues)

I knew Charles Melton was toast when he didn’t get a SAG nomination and that could be a disgrace; he’s nice in Might December, and I really feel like De Niro in all probability simply acquired rubber-stamped into this. Having mentioned that: This looks like RDJ’s to lose.

Greatest Actress in a Supporting Position

Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer)
Danielle Brooks (The Shade Purple)
America Ferrera (Barbie)
Jodie Foster (Nyad)
Da’Vine Pleasure Randolph (The Holdovers)

This class is historically far and wide and lo, right here we’re once more! America Ferrera is a shock. I’m thrilled for Danielle Brooks. And, in fact, I hope Da’Vine Pleasure Randolph continues her run and takes this one too.

Barbie (Written by Greta Gerwig & Noah Baumbach)
