The Oscars Academy has revealed the list of nominees for its 96th edition, which is slated for March 10, 2024 in Los Angeles.
The Oscars 2024 are fast approaching. Since 1929, this cinema gathering has been an eagerly awaited event for the Seventh Art, rewarding actors, directors, the best film, the best director, the most beautiful costumes of the past year, and much more. While the next edition will take place on March 10th at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, we hone in on the films in competition and those expected to win.
What are the major favorites for the Oscars 2024?
Last year, it was the fantastic, quirky, and moving comedy Everything Everywhere All at Once by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert that was crowned with the Oscar for Best Picture, along with six other awards (making it the most awarded production of the 95th edition). On December 21st, the Academy of Oscars revealed to the press a shortlist containing some of the films expected to win a small golden statue at its 96th ceremony.
Among the favorite works competing at the Oscars 2024, we find the striking Anatomy of a Fall by Justine Triet, Palme d'Or winner at the last Cannes Film Festival (with 5 nominations), Barbie directed by Greta Gerwig with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, the historical epic Oppenheimer by Christopher Nolan, its direct competitor released on the same day in theaters this summer (accumulating no less than 13 nominations), as well as the latest work by Martin Scorsese, Killers of the Flower Moon, which also stands out among the cherished films of this edition, along with Poor Things by Yórgos Lánthimos starring Emma Stone and Ridley Scott's Napoleon with Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby.
On this Tuesday, January 23, 2024, the complete list of nominations has just been announced. Now, all that remains is to wait for Sunday, March 10, 2024, to follow the unfolding of the official ceremony hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.
