It’s the day of the Oscars and we’re ready and rearing to find out the Academy Awards winners in Hollywood.
The prestigious awards ceremony is in its 96th year, kicking off with a gorgeous red carpet prior to the main event.
Fans of 2023’s biggest blockbuster hit, Barbie, were surprised that Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie weren’t nominated for Best Director and Best Actress respectively at the year’s awards.
Barbie was the highest grossing movie for 2023, collecting $1.44 billion ($2.18 billion Australian dollars approx.) worldwide. The film did receive a number of nominations — including acting nods for America Ferrera and Ryan Gosling —it wound up only winning one award, via its Best Original Song nominees, Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connor.
It was also another year of mostly male director nominations, despite highly acclaimed contributions from Gerwig and Past Lives director Celine Song. All the nominees for Best Director were male, bar Justine Triet, who was nominated for Anatomy of a Fall. Christopher Nolan wound-up taking home the award for Oppenheimer.
Fortunately, there were glimmers of representation amid the nominee field. Lily Gladstone, star of Killers Of The Flower Moon became the first Native American nominated for an acting award from the Academy. She told The Hollywood Reporter that the honour belongs to those brilliant Native American actors and actresses gone before her.
“It’s long overdue. I feel like it’s circumstantial that it’s me because there have been so many immense, incredible performances,” she says.
Oppenheimer received the most nominations, followed by Poor Things and then Killers Of The Flower Moon.
