The nominations for the 2023 Academy Awards have been announced, and this year’s nominees include some significant shocks and upsets.
Everything Everywhere All At Once, an absurdist sci-fi film with a small budget, leads the pack with 11 nominations, which is an impressive feat in and of itself.
After the former dominated this year’s BAFTA nominations, All Quiet on the Western Front and The Banshees of Inisherin both turned in outstanding performances and received nods in nine categories each.
Other noteworthy highlights include Angela Bassett in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever becoming the first actor to be recognised by the Oscars for a performance in a Marvel film, Michelle Yeoh becoming the first Asian actress to be nominated for a Best Actress Oscar, and Avatar: The Way of Water and Top Gun: Maverick entering the Best Picture race.
Although The Fabelmans, a semi-autobiographical film directed by Steven Spielberg, did not receive a BAFTA nomination, it is possible that it may win this year’s Oscars after making its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in 2022.
Jimmy Kimmel, presenter of the late-night talk show, will preside over the ceremony this year for the third time in his career. The infamous Chris Rock and Will Smith slap from the previous year’s event overshadowed it, but this year’s is shaping up to be a battle of some of the year’s best films.
The nominations were revealed on January 24 by Riz Ahmed of Sound of Metal and Allison Williams of M3GAN. For his outstanding performance in the short film The Long Goodbye, Ahmed received an Oscar in the ceremony the previous year.
