One of the most anticipated days of Awards Season is here! That’s right, it’s time for the 2024 Oscar nominations! We have been flooded with nomination lists from other shows, but all paths lead straight to the Academy Awards. We’ll take a look at the full list of nominations and talk about some of the biggest surprises and snubs of the season!
The 2024 Oscar Nominations Who Won Big
The biggest winner of the nominations is Oppenheimer. The biopic earned 13 nominations, including plenty from the top categories such as Best Director and Best Picture. We aren’t surprised at all, given its track record at previous awards shows this season, including the Golden Globes.
Poor Things took 11 nominations. Killers of the Flower Moon follows close behind with 10. Barbie earned a total of 8.
Of these nominations, the 2024 Oscar night will see some exciting records. Lily Gladstone, who is nominated for Best Actress for her role in Killers of the Flower Moon, marks the first Native American acting nominee. Martin Scorsese, the director of the film, is officially the most nominated living movie director with an impressive 10th nomination. He surpasses Steven Spielberg, who has nine nominations.

The Snubs That Shocked Us (And The Ones That Didn’t)
Barbie snubs are gaining a lot of recognition. Despite the exciting 8 nominations, we’re surprised to see Greta Gerwig missing from the Best Director list. Similarly, Margot Robbie was excluded from Best Actress for playing the titular character. Perhaps even more of a surprise, even if it’s a happy one, is that America Ferrera received a Best Supporting Actress nod. She did great, but her road to the Oscars wasn’t filled with previous nominations.
May December is also home to some surprises and snubs. The film did take a Best Original Screenplay nomination, but Charles Melton’s missing Best Supporting Actor nomination has shocked fans. The former Riverdale star pulled out an amazing performance in a tricky role. Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman were also missing nominations, though we’re less surprised about that.
My most disappointing realization today was that The Iron Claw earned 0 nominations. The biographical sports drama follows the tragic story of the Von Erich family and won over the hearts of audiences and critics for exceptional performances (especially from Zac Efron) and a stellar directing job. It didn’t pick up many precursors, but I was holding out some hope.
