The movie is nominated in the following categories
Its good to see a movie like this getting recognition for its creative flair and anti-blockbuster independent look and feel.
Michelle Yeoh gets recognitions in a lead actress role although Cate Blanchett is also nominated for TÁR and is the current favourite.
Jamie Lee Curtis gets her first ever nomination but Angela Bassett also get a nomination for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever which is the current favourite.
Here is a list of all the movies up for best picture of the year
Its interesting seeing both Avatar: The Way of Water and Top Gun: Maverick on the list, 2 of the highest grossing movies of the last 12 months, Oscar does not normally award big budget, high grossing blockbusters, although neither will probably get the award!
In the lead actor category Colin Farrell gets a nod for The Banshees of Inisherin but the hot favourite is Brendan Fraser in The Whale who is the one to beat.
The most wide open category is best director which has no out and out leader, Steven Spielberg is an Oscar darling and must be a favourite for The Fabelmans, but then Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan must also be in with a shout for Everything Everywhere All At Once.
The ceremony takes place on Sunday March 12th and the full list of nomination can be found on the Oscars Website.
