The Banshees by Inisherin and Elvis received eight nominations, while The Fabelmans and Top Gun: Maverick by Steven Spielberg each received seven.
Paul Meskal and Bill Nighty have been nominated for Academy Awards.
Many people believed that the Best Actor category was mostly determined days before the nominations were released, with the exception of fifth and final place. Many people believed that Paul Mescal would get the nod at this stage. After the sun sets, it's either Bill Nighty for life or Tom Cruise for Top Gun: Maverick. It was wonderful to hear Mescal and Nighy's names spoken - both performers were given first nouns (as was Irish Banshees by Inisherin stars Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell, the former in the Best Supporting Actor category). Cruise will have to make up with that instead of the loner's seven nominations.
Danielle Deadwyler, no.
Danielle Deadwyler, who was voted for stardom by many following her initial performance till, which portrays the story of Mamie Till-tireless Mobley's quest of justice for her 14-year-old son, Emmett, is a big snub in the Best Actress category. Two unexpected performances knocked her out of the running: Ana de Armas in the immensely contentious Marilyn Monroe biography Blond and Andrea Riseborough in the underappreciated drama To Leslie.
Andrea Riseborough pulled it off.
Speaking of Riseborough, her inclusion on the Oscar nomination list would have come as a complete surprise to many Oscar commentators a few weeks ago. However, a number of high-profile celebrities, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Charlize Theron, and Jennifer Aniston, have begun to show their support for Riseborough's campaign on social media in recent days. The full-court press seemed to have been effective. Could it even get her all the way there? As previously stated, coda Last year's Oscars weren't afraid of a late comeback.
Dolly de Leon out, Stephanie Hsu in
One of the biggest reactions from the crowd that gathered at the announcement of the nominations was reserved for Stephanie Hsu, who was nominated for her role in Best Supporting Actress Everything everywhere at once. Chances of a nod for Hsu were slim considering she had done poorly at other awards shows in the same category throughout the season, where she was largely left out in favor of fellow actress Jamie Lee Curtis. But not so at the Oscars – both actors received a nomination for it triangle of sadness‘ Dolly De Leon, who was nominated at the Golden Globes and Baftas for Supporting Actress, was sadly left out.
Women's voices are (thankfully) included.
Women Speak, Sarah Polley's superb adaptation of Miriam Toews' novel of the same name, appeared to have stagnated for the last week, with many assuming it was ready to be rejected outright. Many people breathed a sigh of relief when he was named the tenth and final Best Picture nominee; without him, no picture directed by a woman would have been nominated for the Grand Prize. Still, that doesn't, and shouldn't, detract from the all-male directing candidates, especially since Polley and The Woman King's Gina Prince-Bythewood would have been two deserving winners.
Babylon was snubbed
Babylon, Damien Chazelle’s lengthy, ambitious ode to the excesses of silent Hollywood, has been all but excluded from this year’s top nominations. Nominations for Best Original Music Score, Production Design, and Costume Design will likely offer little comfort to Margot Robbie, who was tipped to compete for Best Actress for her frantic role as a coked-up movie star. The film itself, meanwhile, apparently proved too polarizing with general audiences and lost the Best Picture nomination.
Brian Tyree Henry is should be credited.
Despite all of the criticism leveled at the Oscars, it's fair to say that they prefer to spotlight an accomplishment that wasn't truly considered until the nominees were released. Atlanta Star Brian Tyree Henry, who was acknowledged for his part in Jennifer Lawrence's dam, is one such performer this year. It's a tiny consolation given that a nomination in the same category would have been warranted for his brief but outstanding role in Barry Jenkins' If Beale Street Could Talk in 2018.
