Oscars 2024 Shortlists: Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” Leads with Five Mentions

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed the shortlists for Oscars 2024 across ten categories, showcasing a mix of surprises and omissions.

Notably, Greta Gerwig’s film “Barbie” steals the spotlight with five nominations but falls short in makeup and hairstyling, leaving room for unexpected entries such as “Beau Is Afraid,” “Ferrari,” and “Oppenheimer.”

Surprisingly, Christopher Nolan’s film, renowned for its practical depiction of an atomic bomb explosion, misses the Best Visual Effects category. However, it excels in the audio domain, securing nominations for Best Original Score, composed by Ludwig Göransson, and outstanding sound design.

“Killers of the Flower Moon,” helmed by Martin Scorsese, earns four spots on the Oscars 2024 shortlist, with “Wahzhazhe (A Song For My People)” by the Osage tribe vying for a nomination in the Best Original Song category.

Contrary to expectations, there’s a lack of Indian entries in the Oscars 2024 shortlist. Despite India’s submission, “2018: Everyone is a Hero,” directed by Jude Anthany Joseph, the film failed to secure a spot in the Best International Feature Film category.

The selection process involved movies from 88 countries and regions, each meeting a minimum viewing requirement for Academy members to cast their votes.

Ahead of the official nominations announcement on January 23, Academy members are mandated to watch all 15 shortlisted films before deciding on the final contenders for the prestigious Oscars event.

The Oscars 2024 shortlists underscore a diverse mix of contenders, setting the stage for a compelling and competitive awards ceremony.
