Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’ Dominates 2024 Oscar Nominations

Christopher Nolan’s latest film, ‘Oppenheimer,’ has taken the film industry by storm, dominating the list of nominees for the 96th Academy Awards. With an impressive 13 nods, including a nomination for Best Picture, ‘Oppenheimer’ is set to be a frontrunner in this year’s Oscars.

Joining ‘Oppenheimer’ in the race for Best Picture are nine other exceptional films: Cord Jefferson’s ‘American Fiction,’ Justine Triet’s ‘Anatomy of a Fall,’ Greta Gerwig’s ‘Barbie,’ Alexander Payne’s ‘The Holdovers,’ Martin Scorsese’s ‘Killers of the Flower Moon,’ Bradley Cooper’s ‘Maestro,’ Celine Song’s ‘Past Lives,’ Yorgos Lanthimos’ ‘Poor Things,’ and Jonathan Glazer’s ‘The Zone of Interest.’ It’s an impressive lineup of nominees, showcasing the depth and diversity of talent in the film industry.

Justine Triet, Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, Yorgos Lanthimos, and Jonathan Glazer are among the esteemed directors recognized in the Best Director category. Their distinct visions and storytelling abilities have captivated audiences worldwide.

The announcement of the Oscar nominations was made by Zazie Beetz (‘Joker’) and Jack Quaid (‘Oppenheimer’), two talented actors in their own right. As for the grand night itself, Jimmy Kimmel has been selected as the host for the fourth time, promising an entertaining and star-studded event.

It’s worth noting that both ‘Barbie’ and ‘Oppenheimer’ achieved enormous success at the box office, with ‘Barbie’ grossing an impressive $1.4 billion worldwide and ‘Oppenheimer’ amassing $952 million worldwide. The inclusion of these blockbuster films among the nominees is expected to draw a larger audience to this year’s Oscars, following the ratings boost from last year’s ceremony that featured ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ and ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ as contenders for Best Picture.
