The nominees for the ninety-sixth Academy Awards were unveiled yesterday morning, with actors Jack Quaid and Zazie Beetz having the honor of announcing the movies, scripts, directors, actors, and other talents who are now in the running for the biggest prize in the movie industry — and what some call the most prestigious honor in all of entertainment.

As was expected by many, Oppenheimer ruled the 2024 Oscars, with 13 chances to win.

The blockbuster landed in essentially every category it could, and it stands a good shot at wrapping the ceremony as the top winner as well. Poor Things landed in second place, with 11 nods, and Killers of the Flower Moon racked up 10 nominations.

There were only a handful of surprises, but what may be most exciting about this year’s Oscars is the list of first-time nominees.

Actors Colman Domingo (an out gay man), Cillian Murphy, Jeffrey Wright, Lily Gladstone, Sandra Hüller, Sterling K. Brown (for playing an out gay man), Emily Blunt, Danielle Brooks, America Ferrera, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph are all up for their first Academy Awards.

While it’s great seeing some of the biggest names return to the show, it can be even more thrilling to watch as newcomers earn some love from the establishment. 

Below is the full list of nominees for the 2024 Academy Awards. The statues will be handed out live on March 10, 2024, starting at 7 p.m. when Jimmy Kimmel returns to host the Oscars.
