5 takeaways from the Oscar nominations (NPR)

War movies are big, first-time acting nominees had a great morning, and inclusion at the Oscars is still an uphill battle. All this, plus the big showing ...

Plus, of course, the comeback stories of Ke Huy Quan ( [Everything Everywhere All at Once](https://www.npr.org/2022/03/25/1088531021/everything-everywhere-all-at-once-movie-review)) and Brendan Fraser ( [The Whale](https://www.npr.org/2022/11/29/1139789545/the-whale-is-more-prosthetic-than-aesthetic)). [Nope](https://www.npr.org/2022/07/21/1112634101/jordan-peele-subverts-expectations-again-with-nope) was shut out of the nominations entirely. But as has been the case in many, many years of Oscar nominations, no women were nominated this year, despite strong films from established directors including Gina Prince-Bythewood ( [The Woman King](https://www.npr.org/2022/09/16/1123434249/woman-king-review-viola-davis)) and Sarah Polley ( [Women Talking, ](https://www.npr.org/2023/01/20/1149753059/women-talking-review-sarah-polley)which was nominated for best picture). [The Woman King](https://www.npr.org/2022/09/16/1123434249/woman-king-review-viola-davis) and Danielle Deadwyler in [Till](https://www.npr.org/2022/10/14/1128373914/emmett-till-mother-mamie-film-review-chinonye-chukwu). While Angela Bassett became the first actor nominated for a Marvel movie (for [Black Panther: Wakanda Forever](https://www.npr.org/2022/11/11/1135781454/wakanda-forever-review-black-panther-chadwick-boseman)) and the hugely versatile Brian Tyree Henry was nominated for Causeway, the #OscarsSoWhite discussions of recent years are far from over. It was also a difficult year for some of the most well-regarded Black artists in Hollywood. But it wasn't on most awards radar, and then it was, [as theories swirled about what connections might be behind the swell of support](https://www.vulture.com/2023/01/andrea-riseborough-to-leslie-oscar-buzz-timeline.html). [All Quiet on the Western Front](https://www.npr.org/2022/10/28/1132405481/movie-review-all-quiet-on-the-western-front), which is available on Netflix, is not breaking a lot of new ground as a war film for people who have seen the bloodiest sequences in Saving Private Ryan and the trench warfare of 1917. First-time nominees include new faces like Austin Butler ( Four acting nominations — for lead actress Michelle Yeoh, supporting actresses Stephanie Hsu and Jamie Lee Curtis, and supporting actor Ke Huy Quan — plus best picture, best directing, best original screenplay, best costumes and music and visual effects and editing, all add up to a huge haul for a movie that isn't quite like anything anybody has ever seen before. There were also some omissions that pained fans of individual artists as well as advocates for greater inclusivity in the Oscars. Nevertheless, it received nine nominations, including best picture, best international feature, and best adapted screenplay.

Oscar Nominations 2023: Full List of Nominees (Variety)

The current Oscar season is approaching its home stretch, as nominations for this year's Academy Awards are announced Tuesday morning.

“The Fabelmans” marks Williams’ fifth nomination. At the same time, adult-oriented movies such as “The Fabelmans,” “Tár,” and “The Banshees of Inisherin” have struggled at the box office during the pandemic. Ke Huy Quan, a former child actor best known for his work in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” earned a best supporting actor nomination for his work in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” A few years ago, Quan had given up on acting, convinced that his career in front of the camera was over. He will compete for the director prize against Spielberg, Todd Field (“Tár”), Martin McDonagh (“The Banshees of Inisherin”), and the directing duo of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”). The last two best director winners, Jane Campion (“The Power of the Dog”) and Chloe Zhao (“Nomadland”), have been women, and there were some hopes that “Women Talking’s” Sarah Polley, “The Woman King’s” Gina Prince-Bythewood or “Aftersun’s” Charlotte Wells might receive best director nods. “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” a twisty sci-fi adventure, led the nominations for the 95th Academy Awards on Tuesday morning, picking up 11 nods.

Many of these titles and names are front-runners we’ve been talking about since the season kicked off with the Venice and Telluride film festivals back in August and September. As widely expected, Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Banshees of Inisherin, The Fabelmans, and the German war drama All Quiet on the Western Front led the morning, with nominations in best picture and a slew of below-the-line categories. “We aren’t fired yet,” joked Williams during the break between the first and second sets of nominations. Everything Everywhere All at Once led in total nominations, earning 11, followed by Banshees and All Quiet with nine each. They were also, for the awards obsessives who look forward to nominations like they do Christmas morning, a whole lot of fun.

Overall, I would say we all agree that it was because of the music maestro A R Rahman that the song won the coveted prize.” The documentary was produced by Indian producer Guneet Monga’s Sikhya Entertainment and directed by the Iranian-American director Rayka Zehtabchi. In 2019, nearly a decade after his Oscar win, he said, “It was because of A R Rahman the song won the award. The artiste has won a number of National Awards and 20 Filmfare Awards. Ian Tapp, Richard Pryke and Resul Pookutty were the joint awardees for their work in Slumdog Millionaire (2008) for Best Sound Mixing. Another track from the film, ‘O Saaya’, was also nominated in the Best Original Song category.

Oscar Nominations 2023: The Biggest Snubs and Surprises (The New York Times)

It's a record-setting year for performers of Asian descent. In the actress race, there's room for Andrea Riseborough but not Viola Davis or Danielle ...

[Michelle Williams](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/04/movies/michelle-williams-fabelmans.html) play Steven Spielberg’s mom in “The Fabelmans,” they were convinced she was our new supporting-actress front-runner. Then, just a few weeks later, [word broke](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/04/movies/michelle-williams-fabelmans.html) that instead of gunning for that easy win, Williams would be campaigned as the film’s leading actress. Tuesday added two more to the mix, as “Top Gun: Maverick” earned a solid six nominations (including an adapted screenplay nod that produced an audible reaction in the room where the nominations were read) and James Cameron’s “Avatar: The Way of Water” took four. But [“Blonde” star Ana de Armas](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/28/movies/blonde-review-marilyn-monroe.html) did make it into the best actress lineup, and another Netflix movie surged into the best-picture race at just the right time … (The 1930 adaptation of Remarque’s novel won best picture at the third Academy Awards, don’t forget.) The German-language adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque’s classic World War I novel was a favorite of many Oscar voters I spoke to, and could even be a formidable threat to nomination leader “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” since it offers a more traditional awards pick than that multiverse-jumping mind-bender. Meanwhile, “The Fabelmans” auteur Steven Spielberg earned his ninth best-director nomination, tying Martin Scorsese for the second most nominations in that category, behind William Wyler’s 13. Deadwyler’s deeply felt performance as the mother of Emmett Till had suffered a few notable snubs this season from the Independent Spirit Awards and Golden Globes, but Davis had cruised through the season so far, earning nominations from the Globes, Screen Actors Guild, Critics Choice Awards and BAFTA. That strategy earned the 41-year-old British actress her first nomination, and proved that when it comes to Oscar season, it ain’t over till it’s over. Though the best actress race often favors ingénues, male up-and-comers aren’t always regarded so warmly: The best actor category is typically stacked with veterans over 40, and the same famous names are nominated an awful lot. Though two of the last three best-picture winners were directed by Asian filmmakers, the academy has fallen short when it comes to nominating performers of Asian descent: Films like “Parasite” and “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” failed to earn even a single nomination for their acclaimed actors. A single awards campaign can involve a monthslong gantlet of interviews, red carpets, screening Q&As and voter handshakes, and not every contender can charge all those appearances to a corporate credit card.

The 2023 Oscar Nominations, and What Should Have Made the List (The New Yorker)

Actress Michelle Yeoh stands between Stephanie Hsu and Ke Huy Quan as they hold her back. “Everything Everywhere All at Once” received eleven Oscar nominations, ...

(I’m unfortunately sure that “ [Don’t Worry Darling](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-front-row/dont-worry-darling-is-so-much-more-than-hollywood-gossip-fodder),” one of the year’s best star-centric Hollywood films, will be rejected by the Academy, as it was by critics.) [Women Talking](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-front-row/women-talking-reviewed-a-sublime-script-a-merely-very-good-movie)” received a pair of nominations, for Best Picture and for its screenplay, and that the daring and subtle “ [Marcel the Shell with Shoes On](https://www.newyorker.com/goings-on-about-town/movies/marcel-the-shell-with-shoes-on),” a remarkable blend of stop-motion and live action, turns up as a nominee in the Animated Feature category. The overlap points to the very meaning of directing: the comprehensive influence on the work of everyone making a major contribution to the film at hand, from casting and the style of acting to the tone of lighting and the costumes and décor—and, of course, the script, whether or not the director is credited. Charlie Chaplin famously said that comedy is life in long shot and tragedy is life in closeup, and I’ve long thought that directors’ sense of distance is as important as that of timing. (The nostalgia that its success represents, above all, is for the Coen brothers’ early films—it catches something of their tone without their style, wit, or cinematic self-awareness.) The other international film to get a Best Picture nomination, “ [Triangle of Sadness](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-front-row/triangle-of-sadness-reviewed-were-on-a-yacht-and-were-puking),” is mainly in English, and its emotional world is painfully simplistic. Inasmuch as the Oscars are, eminently, aspirational—an image of what the industry prizes about itself and where it wants to be heading over all—what the list of nominees promises for slates of production in years ahead is fearsome. I’m keeping my list in this fantasyland in order to highlight the gap between what’s usually on the Academy’s radar and what’s going on in the world of movies at large. I’m against the individual branches making nominations in their categories; cinematographers, editors, actors have the knowledge and the understanding of their fields, but this practice results in a sort of guild protectionism that perpetuates norms instead of rewarding experiences. Jordan Peele is the Rodney Dangerfield of Hollywood—he gets no respect at all, at least, none since he won Best Original Screenplay for “ [Get Out](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/richard-brody/get-out-jordan-peeles-radical-cinematic-vision-of-the-world-through-black-eyes).” His, and his movies’, neglect is appalling and disturbing. [Nope](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-front-row/nope-is-one-of-the-great-movies-about-moviemaking)”—and it did not get nominated for anything. Bringing together Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan, great actors whose talents have been underutilized because of the dearth of substantial roles for Asian performers, along with [Jamie Lee Curtis](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-new-yorker-interview/jamie-lee-curtis-has-never-worked-hard-a-day-in-her-life) (who has endured the ageism that most actresses confront) and the near-newcomer (to movies) Stephanie Hsu, deserves an Oscar in itself. So does the bushel of nominations for “

The 2023 Oscar nominations are here (WSIU)

ANDREW LIMBONG, BYLINE: Hey, Leila. FADEL: OK, so tell us about "Everything Everywhere All At Once," which seems to have dominated the Oscars this year. LIMBONG ...

The guys up for best director are Martin McDonagh for "Banshees Of Inisherin," Steven Spielberg for "The Fabelmans," Todd Field for "Tar," Ruben Ostlund for "Triangle Of Sadness." Some of the other movies in the best picture running include big blockbusters like "Avatar: The Way Of Water" and "Top Gun: Maverick." And then, there's the Daniels, Kwan and Scheinert, for "Everything Everywhere." LIMBONG: On the male actors' side, Brendan Fraser was nominated for his role in "The Whale." And then, we've got "Tar," "Triangle Of Sadness," "The Banshees Of Inisherin," "Elvis" and "Women Talking," which is about a group of Mennonite women trying to decide what to do after they discover they'd been drugged and attacked by men in the community. The Oscar nominations are out, and the big movie of the morning is the weird and quirky "Everything Everywhere All At Once," which received 11 nominations. LIMBONG: The other big movie is the new adaptation of "All Quiet On The Western Front," directed by Edward Berger. I mean, it happened at the Golden Globes earlier, and it looks like it's happened again at the Oscars. And the way you two are dressed, I'm sure I'm not the only one calling him he - I mean, her him. And it's even got two nominees in the best supporting actress category for Stephanie Hsu, who, like I said, plays the daughter, and Jamie Lee Curtis, who plays an IRS auditor. But it's also a sci-fi, martial arts movie that involves, like, multiple dimensions, a number of alternate realities, and a decent number of butt jokes. YEOH: (As Evelyn Wang) You know me.

2023 Oscar nominations: 'Everything Everywhere All At Once ... (The Washington Post)

Sci-fi extravaganza “Everything Everywhere All At Once” dominated the 95th annual Academy Award nominations Tuesday morning with 11 nods, the most of any ...

Only one of the two favorites from “The Fabelmans” landed in the running for best supporting actor, with the Academy choosing Hirsch over Paul Dano. He has been recognized by numerous critics associations and won both the Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award for playing Yeoh’s timid but loving husband in “Everything Everywhere.” In something of a sweep, the “Banshees” campaign earned acting nominations for each member of its main cast. The Oscars once again omitted female directors from the category, overlooking filmmakers such as Sarah Polley, whose “Women Talking” earned a best picture nod, and Gina Prince-Bythewood, whose film “The Woman King” was snubbed across the board. Analysis: Bassett, who has already won multiple awards this awards season, is the first actor ever recognized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for a Marvel project. [less than $30,000](https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt8129806/credits/?ref_=bo_tt_tab) at the box office. Box office behemoths “ [Avatar: The Way of Water](https://www.washingtonpost.com/movies/2022/12/13/avatar-the-way-of-water-movie-review/?itid=lk_inline_manual_21)” and “ [Top Gun: Maverick](https://www.washingtonpost.com/movies/2022/05/24/top-gun-maverick-movie-review/?itid=lk_inline_manual_21)” refute the age-old argument that nobody has seen the nominated films, though the list still acknowledges smaller, critically acclaimed titles such as “ [Women Talking](https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2023/01/17/jessie-buckley-women-talking-interview/?itid=lk_inline_manual_21)” and “Tár.” Meanwhile, Austin Butler will get to continue mystifying people by using his “Elvis” voice on the awards circuit after his nomination for best actor. Could they once again best heavyweights McDonagh and Spielberg, the latter of whom won the Golden Globe? “Avatar: The Way of Water,” James Cameron’s visually dazzling epic, follows the first “Avatar” smash from 2009. And in “Top Gun: Maverick,” Tom Cruise reprises his role from the 1986 film as a roguish Navy pilot. Angela Bassett became the first performer from a Marvel movie to land an acting nomination.

The 2023 Oscar nominations have been announced, and Dadaist multiverse action comedy Everything Everywhere All At Once leads the pack with a total of 11 ...

As for The Banshees of Inisherin , it's a funny and profound black comedy that doubles up as an examination of a disintegrating friendship set against the backdrop of the Irish Civil War. Jimmy Kimmel is back as the host, after previously leading the awards show in 2017 and 2018. And despite winning the top prize at Cannes and raking up the gongs at the European Film Awards last year , Ruben Östlund's Triangle of Sadness would be a surprise win. It could very well be the outlier to keep an eye on, one which doubtlessly cost the underperforming Babylon a nomination. Only two sequels have won a Best Picture Oscar: The Godfather Part II and Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King . It's a daring take on the ubiquitous multiverse subgenre that’s brimming with boundless ideas and madcap flourishes; it might prove to be too out-there for voters. It could win her her third Oscar, joining Ingrid Bergman ( Gaslight , Anastasia , Murder on the Orient Express ), Meryl Streep ( Kramer vs. Mary's (the sequel to the 1944 winner, Going My Way ), Toy Story 3 , and Mad Max: Fury Road . The first Black Panther movie was nominated for Best Picture in 2019, but no actor has ever been nominated for an Oscar for a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His Palme d’Or-winning satire has gone gangbusters over the past year and it’s great to see it on the shortlist. The actress made a very late break for it in the race with a grassroots campaign which has paid off.
