1Oppenheimer, the film about the lead scientist in the American project to create a nuclear weapon, led the Academy Awards, or Oscars, with 13 nominations on Tuesday.
2The three-hour film was expected to be a top candidate for best picture.
3Oppenheimer also received nominations for best director for Christopher Nolan, lead actor for Cillian Murphy and supporting actors for Emily Blunt and Robert Downey, Jr.
4The film also received nominations for several production categories such as film editing and sound.
5Nolan is known as one of the top directors working in Hollywood today, but he has never won the award for director.
6None of his movies have won best picture. Experts say this may be his year to win both awards.
7Nolan told the Associated Press, "... getting this kind of recognition from the academy, I don't know what to say, really. It certainly confirms our faith in what studio filmmaking can be."
8Nine other films were nominated for best picture this year.
9They are Barbie, Poor Things, Killers of the Flower Moon, The Holdovers, Maestro, American Fiction, Past Lives, Anatomy of a Fall and The Zone of Interest.
10After Oppenheimer, the films with the most nominations were Poor Things with 11 and Killers of the Flower Moon with 10.
11Poor Things is a film about a Victorian-era woman brought back to life by a scientist and stars Emma Stone.
12She was nominated for best actress, along with Annette Bening in Nyad, Lily Gladstone in Killers of the Flower Moon, Sandra Huller in Anatomy of a Fall and Carey Mulligan in Maestro.
13Barbie was the most successful movie in 2023.
14Greta Gerwig's film based on the famous toy brought in over $1.4 billion around the world.
15It received eight nominations. Gerwig, however, was not nominated for best director.
16Barbie received nominations for best picture, best supporting actor (Ryan Gosling as Ken) and two nominations for best song.
17The best director nominees were Nolan, Justine Triet of Anatomy of a Fall, Martin Scorsese of Killers of the Flower Moon, Yorgos Lanthimos of Poor Things and Jonathan Glazer of Zone of Interest.
18Scorsese was nominated in the category for the 10th time.
19The nominees for best international film were Society of the Snow, (from Spain); The Zone of Interest, (from Great Britain); The Teachers' Lounge (from Germany); Io Capitano (of Italy); and Perfect Days (from Japan).
20Experts say this year's group of nominees reflects a return to the traditional idea that films should be shown first in movie theaters before going to streaming services such as Netflix, Apple TV+ or Amazon Prime Video.
21All of the top films spent at least one month in movie theaters first.
22Netflix was the top streaming video service with 18 nominations led by its film Maestro.
23That film tells the story of American composer Leonard Bernstein, and it stars actor Bradley Cooper, who also wrote and directed the movie.
24The host of the awards broadcast on March 10 will be American late-night television presenter Jimmy Kimmel.
