Academy Award nominations 2024: Barbie, Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon tipped to dominate Oscars list
The 2024 Oscar nominations were announced Tuesday morning from the academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, California.
Sterling K. Brown, Robert De Niro, Robert Downey Jr., Ryan Gosling and Mark Ruffalo received the first batch of nominations for Best Supporting Actor
Barbie, Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon are expected to be the most dominant forces, each poised to rack up double-digit nominations.
Poor Things starring Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo is also expected to earn ten or more nods.
International films such as Anatomy of a Fall and The Zone of Interest could form the best field of view.
Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is the favorite for best film, best director and a host of other awards. By Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt are expected to get acting nods, while the film’s craft should be richly rewarded in the technical categories.

Lily Gladstone is widely expected to be the first Native American to be nominated for best actress, for her role in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon
Although Nolan is considered the big-budget auteur of his time, he never won an Academy Award, nor did any of his films win Best Picture.
Greta Gerwig’s Barbie has a chance of nominations for best film, best director, acting for Ryan Gosling and possibly Margot Robbie and probably two candidates for best song in What Was I Made For and I’m Just Ken.
Films such as Oppenheimer, Barbie, Killers of the Flower Moon, Poor Things, The Holdovers, Maestro, American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Past Lives and The Zone of Interest are expected to receive best picture nominations
In the competitive field of the best actors, several deserving candidates are bound to be rejected. Paul Giamatti in The Holdovers, Jeffrey Wright in American Fiction and Bradley Cooper in Maestro are narrow favorites, but that leaves one spot for Leonardo DiCaprio in Killers of the Flower Moon, Colman Domingo in Rustin and Andrew Scott in All of Us Strangers.
Lily Gladstone is widely expected to be the first Native American to be nominated for best actress, for her role in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon.
The 96th Academy Awards will be held live on ABC on March 10 at 7 p.m.
