The nominations for the 96th Academy Awards have just been announced in Los Angeles by actors Zazie Beetz and Jack Quaid. Oppenheimer led with a total of 13 nominations, including Best Picture, followed by Poor Things, with 11 nominations. Barbie garnered eight nominations, including for two of its songs: “I’m Just Ken” (music and lyric by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, sung by Ryan Gosling) and “What Was I Made For?” (music and lyric by Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell, sung by Eilish).

Notable snubs include Greta Gerwig not being nominated for Best Director for Barbie and star Margot Robbie not getting a Best Actress nomination. Also shut out of Best Actress was Past Lives star Greta Lee (and that’s film’s director Celine Song also didn’t get nominated).

Only one woman was nominated for Best Director, Justine Triet for Anatomy of a Fall, although that’s better than last year, when no women were nominated. It seems that the Academy need to expand the Best Director nominees to 10, one per Best Picture nominee (this year that would’ve equalled three women and one Black man getting nominations, instead of just four white men and one woman). And perhaps the acting categories should expand to seven nominees each instead of five, too many worthy performances get shut out each year.

Other snubs include Daniel Pemberton not being nominated for Best Original Score for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Saltburn not getting a single nomination.

The 96th Academy Awards, set to take place on March 10, will air live on ABC. View all the nominations below.
