The 2024 Oscars are underway as “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie,” the two films that formed the dual box-office Barbenheimer sensation, square off in multiple categories, including best picture. “Oppenheimer” secured the most Academy Award nominations this year with 13, while “Barbie” got eight nods, although not without controversy.
Greta Gerwig missed out on a best director nomination for her work helming “Barbie” while Barbie herself, Margot Robbie, didn’t get nominated for best actress. Both, however, received nominations in other categories: As a producer of the film, Robbie was nominated in the best picture category. Gerwig, along with her husband Noah Baumbach, received a nod for best adapted screenplay — which ultimately went to Cord Jefferson for “American Fiction”
Both Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera were recognized with supporting actor and actress nominations for their roles in “Barbie,” although neither won, with those awards going to Robert Downey Jr. and Da’Vine Joy Randolph.
In the best actor category, Cillian Murphy continued his winning streak, having also taken home comparable awards at the 2024 Golden Globes, BAFTAs and Screen Actors Guild Awards for the title role in “Oppenheimer.
Lily Gladstone, who played Mollie Burkhart in Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” is the first Native American to be nominated for a best actress Oscar. She has already won awards for the role at this year’s Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards. But Emma Stone, who is nominated for her role in “Poor Things,” won the best actress BAFTA last month.
Other films competing for best picture include “American Fiction,” “The Holdovers,” “The Zone of Interest,” and “Anatomy of a Fall.”
This year’s ceremony is taking place at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. Comedian and late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel returned to host the Oscars for the second year in a row and his fourth time overall.
