It’s officially Oscars season.
Nominations for the 96th Academy Awards were announced Tuesday morning at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Los Angeles by Zazie Beetz, who starred in the Oscar-winning “Joker” (2019), and “Oppenheimer” star Jack Quaid.
The ceremony is once again being held at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, and Jimmy Kimmel will return as host for a fourth time. While that will feel familiar, the show could also bring with it some firsts: “Killers of the Flower Moon” star Lily Gladstone has been an undeniable front-runner for her performance in Martin Scorsese’s historical drama, and could become the first Native American to ever earn a competitive Academy Award.
The award show has recently endured some difficult years, as the ceremony in 2021 was heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and 2022’s event was overshadowed by Will Smith’s slap.
This year’s ceremony, on March 10, will arrive after a jam-packed awards season that has already included the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards — and comes just months after an end to the writers and actors strikes that defined Hollywood in 2023.
Leading up to Tuesday’s announcements, meanwhile, Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” and Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” were among the most buzzed-about contenders. Many critics deemed Cillian Murphy’s performance in the former a Best Actor frontrunner upon the film’s release. And “Barbie” has already made history as the first-ever billion-dollar movie directed by a solo woman.
