Oscar 2024 nominations – live: Ryan Gosling responds to Greta Gerwig snub, Lily Gladstone makes history
The Oscars 2024 nominations have just been announced, with some surprises and lots of snubs.
On Tuesday (23 January), the latest round of nominations were revealed during a live stream hosted by Zazie Beetz (Atlanta, Joker) and Jack Quaid (The Boys, Oppenheimer) in Los Angeles.
The movies, actors, directors and writers competing to get their hands on the prized Oscar statuette were announced one week after the Bafta nominations were unveiled in the UK.
The films in contention for awards include Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, which swept the board at both the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards earlier this month, as well as its blockbuster rival Barbie, directed by Greta Gerwig, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon and Poor Things, starring Emma Stone.
Some of the shock omissions include Gerwig, who did not earn a Best Director nod, Barry Keoghan for his performance in Saltburn, and May December star Charles Melton.
This year’s Oscars ceremony will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, and will take place on 10 March.

X/Twitter users are baffled over two notable Barbie snubs: Margot Robbie is not among the contenders for Best Actress and the film’s director Greta Gerwig was also left out of the category nominees.

There’s also some fan outrage on behalf of Barry Keoghan, the star of Emerald Fennell’s wildly divisive Saltburn, who was not on this year’s list of Best Actor nominees.
“barry keoghan improvised that grave scene and did some of the wildest things in saltburn just not to get nominated??” one fan wrote.
Another person wrote: “Well Done to Cillian Murphy on the nom...disappointed for Andrew Scott and Barry Keoghan”

Oppenheimer leads Oscar nominations pack as Barbie receives shock snubs
Tuesday 23 January 2024 15:16 , Inga Parkel
Oppenheimer has just fallen short of achieving Oscars history despite amassing 13 nominations to become the year’s most-recognised film.
Director Christopher Nolan is in the running to win his first ever Oscar for the epic detailing the invention of the atomic bomb, which received nominations on Tuesday (23 January) for Best Picture and Best Director, as well as acting nods for Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr.
Should Oppenheimer have received one more nomination, it would have matched the record held by films including All About Eve, Titanic and La La Land.

The 8 biggest snubs and surprises, from Margot Robbie to Leonardo DiCaprio
Tuesday 23 January 2024 16:00 , Inga Parkel
It’s a question rarely asked, but... are this year’s Oscar nominations actually good? On Tuesday, the line-up for the 2024 Academy Awards was announced, and they’re comfortably the strongest set of nominees in years.
There may have been a lack of surprise surrounding some of the big hitters – such as Christopher Nolan’s nuclear biopic Oppenheimer, with 13 nods, Yorgos Lanthimos’s bizarro fantasy Poor Things with 10, and Greta Gerwig’s vibrant Mattel toy adaptation Barbie with 8 – but the list wasn’t entirely without controversy.

The 10 best ‘loser’ reactions from actors at the Oscars
Tuesday 23 January 2024 17:30 , Inga Parkel
There’s surely no feeling in the world quite like winning an Oscar– that heady, unfiltered hit of professional validation that so many actors desperately crave.
But what of those who aren’t so lucky? For every Oscar winner, there must be a handful of losers, deserving or sometimes undeserving also-rans whose work was collectively deemed to have fallen short.
While actors are often skilled at disguising their disappointment – this is show business, after all – sometimes they let their real feelings slip through.
Whether it’s via side-eye glances that seem to throw shade on the winner, or simply muttering expletives, there have been many Oscar losses that prompted reactions which live on in infamy.

The 10 most baffling Oscar victories
Tuesday 23 January 2024 18:30 , Inga Parkel
Each year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences attempts to award Oscars to the “best” film or artist in each category that year, and each year it fails at least a few times.
There is always room for disagreement on what constitutes “best”: how can we possibly compare Toy Story 3, Inception and The King’s Speech? And yet voters did just that in 2010.
It is similarly impossible to nail down all the egregious choices in academy history, but here are a few of the most glaring errors, with just days to go until the 2023 ceremony. Starting with the granddaddy of them all...

25 superb movies that somehow didn’t receive a single Oscar nomination
Tuesday 23 January 2024 19:30 , Inga Parkel
It might be obvious to say, but a film getting nominated for an Oscar doesn’t automatically make it good.
In fact, there have been many deserving movies over the years that were somehow overlooked by the Academy.
It’s easy to assume that certain releases don’t get nominated because they’re not what Oscar voters would usually go for, but there have been some surprises in the past.

It may have been Barbie’s world last summer, but oh how the tables have turned, as it now appears the 2024 awards circuit is Oppenehimer’s world, and we’re all just living in it.
Christopher Nolan’s war drama, starring Oscar-nominated actor Cillian Murphy, has outperformed Greta Gerwig’s Barbie in both the 2024 Oscars and Baftas nominations lists. And fans are already predicting an Oppenheimer sweep.

America Ferrera ‘incredibly disappointed’ by Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie Oscar snubs
Tuesday 23 January 2024 20:55 , Kevin Perry
Barbie actor America Ferrera has revealed she’s “incredibly disappointed” that the film’s director Greta Gerwig and star Margot Robbie were both overlooked in their individual categories in today’s Oscars nominations.
The smash hit blockbuster has been nominated for a total of eight Oscars, including Ferrera for Best Supporting Actress, Ryan Gosling for Best Supporting Actor and the night’s biggest award, Best Picture.
However, Gerwig and Robbie missed out on nominations for Best Director and Best Actress respectively.

The thorny diplomacy of the Oscars in memoriam segment
Tuesday 23 January 2024 22:00 , Inga Parkel
The in memoriam tribute is not only the most melancholy part of any Oscars ceremony – it is by far the thorniest to produce. The segment, instituted in 2014, serves a noble cause: to honour members of the film industry who have died in the year preceding the event, serving as a reminder of their contributions to the arts. But when the in memoriam sequence makes headlines, it tends to be for all the wrong reasons.

Ryan Gosling has issued a statement responding to his Oscar nomination for Barbie, and expressing his disappointment that the film’s director Greta Gerwig and star Margot Robbie were overlooked in their individual categories.

Amid all the unscripted Will Smith dramatics at the 2022 Academy Awards, it was easy to overlook the well-received performance from the ceremony’s three hosts: Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes.
This year, producers will surely be hoping for a more subdued night, with Jimmy Kimmel set to compere the event for a second consecutive year.

The Nazi shame of the first ever Best Actor winner at the Oscars
02:36 , Kevin Perry
When the ballot results came in to decide the first winner of the Oscar for Best Actor, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences realised they faced a tricky problem. The “actor” who had collected the most votes was actually a dog called Rin-Tin-Tin, who had starred as Rinty in popular films such as A Dog of the Regiment and Jaws of Steel. The film board were concerned that awarding the first statuette to a canine would hardly give credibility to their new awards. To avoiding appearing to be barking mad, they diverted the 1929 Oscar to Emil Jannings.
The academy awarded some honours in their inaugural year for performances in more than one film. Jannings won for his portrayal of both a bank clerk in 1927’s The Way of All Flesh, and for playing Grand Duke Sergius Alexander in the 1928 film The Last Command.
Looked at through the long lens of history, the decision backfired. A committee who were so worried about the embarrassment of honouring a dog ended up commemorating a man whose career ended in ignominy as a reviled propagandist for Adolf Hitler. The Oscars snubbed a German shepherd and got a Nazi poodle instead.
