Oscars nominations 2023: The full list
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced the shortlist of those in consideration for the 95th Oscars Awards ceremony.
The fan-favourite sci-fi flick Everything Everywhere All at Once leads the pack of 2023 nominees with 11 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Leading Actress for Michelle Yeoh.
Following closely in joint-second place is the Netflix anti-war film All Quiet on the Western Front, based on the book by Erich Maria Remarque, and the Martin McDonagh movie The Banshees of Inisherin, which both claim nine nominations each.
Predictably, The Banshees of Inisherin also swept up in the acting categories, with each one of its main cast members snatching a nomination for their incredible performances. The ensemble includes Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Barry Keoghan and Kerry Condon, with each actor picking up a nomination in their respective categories, Best Leading Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress.
Elsewhere, big surprises came in the Best Picture category, where The Whale, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and Babylon all missed out on Best Picture nods in favour of the Sarah Polley-helmed movie Women Talking. Polley’s film joins fellow surprise nominee Triangle of Sadness, Ruben Östlund’s satire of the super-rich, which won the Palme d’Or in 2022.
Appearing to have almost fully recovered from the devastating effects of the coronavirus pandemic, which paused movie production in 2020 and staggered releases in 2021, cinema enjoyed a healthy year in 2022. After the Marvel movie Spider-Man: No Way Home helped to reinvigorate the industry in 2021 with a $1.9 billion opening, both Top Gun: Maverick and James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water became the second and third films to cross the billion-dollar mark after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Oscars has long faced criticism for its lack of diversity, failing to represent marginalised voices and female creatives, so it’s inevitable that the awards show will be under the same level of scrutiny in 2023. With that being said, the show’s recent history has demonstrated strides forward in this area, with the previous two recipients of the Best Director award being women and 2022 providing the first Oscar for a deaf actor, with Troy Kotsur winning for CODA.
The 95th Oscars Awards ceremony goes ahead at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on March 12th and is set to commence at 8pm ET / 5 pm PT and 1am in the UK.
