It is also expected to be in the running with Banshees for the overall best picture. Paul Dano and Judd Hirsch may also make the list for best supporting actor for their roles in The Fabelmans. Eddie Redmayne plays a psychotic serial-killer in The Good Nurse and may also make the cut for best supporting actor, where Barry Keoghan and Brendan Gleeson are also tipped for nomination. Michelle Yeoh is also a possibility for a best actress nod for the movie. The ceremony is being live streamed on the ABC website, but the stream is geo-blocked and will only be available for people living in the US. Tom Cruise is perceived as an outside chance for a best actor nomination for Top Gun: Maverick, but the flick itself may land a best picture nomination.

Oscar nominations 2023: Who is in the running for Academy Award (Manchester Evening News)

The Banshees of Inisherin and Everything Everywhere All at Once are among the films expected to win big at this year's Oscars.

All Quiet on the Western Front director Edward Berger could be considered a dark horse if his film’s 14 BAFTA nods are anything to go by. Baz Luhrmann may be included following the success of his film, though his directorial efforts have so far been snubbed by all but the Globes and Critics’ Choice. With this in mind, the smart money would suggest a tight head-to-head between the seasoned veteran and the young up-and-comers, with The Daniels also earning DGA and BAFTA nods. Banshee co-stars Gleeson and Keoghan both earned SAG, Globe and BAFTA nominations for their performance in Martin McDonagh’s dark comedy, as did The Good Nurse villain Eddie Redmayne, who could also be in the mix. Stephanie Hsu is expected to join her Everything Everywhere co-star in this category, having earned a SAG nomination for her breakthrough role. The three leading men each have a BAFTA and SAG nomination, too, so expect a tight race in this category. The former two picked up several Golden Globes while the latter earned several SAG nods. Cate Blanchett and Michelle Yeoh each took home a Golden Globe for their performances, with both actresses also included in this year’s SAG nominations. Overall, the category is likely to be a three-horse race between The Fabelmans, Banshees, and Everything Everywhere, which have all fared well so far this awards season. The 95th This year’s Best Picture category is limited to 10 nominations for the second year running. Austin Butler-fronted biopic Elvis is also expected to be named, having received a Golden Globe, PGA and BAFTA nod.

As widely expected, Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Banshees of Inisherin, The Fabelmans, and the German war drama All Quiet on the Western Front led the morning, with nominations in best picture and a slew of below-the-line categories. “We aren’t fired yet,” joked Williams during the break between the first and second sets of nominations. Everything Everywhere All at Once led in total nominations, earning 11, followed by Banshees and All Quiet with nine each.

Oscar Nominations 2023: The Biggest Snubs and Surprises (The New York Times)

It's a record-setting year for performers of Asian descent. In the actress race, there's room for Andrea Riseborough but not Viola Davis or Danielle ...

[Michelle Williams](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/04/movies/michelle-williams-fabelmans.html) play Steven Spielberg’s mom in “The Fabelmans,” they were convinced she was our new supporting-actress front-runner. Then, just a few weeks later, [word broke](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/04/movies/michelle-williams-fabelmans.html) that instead of gunning for that easy win, Williams would be campaigned as the film’s leading actress. Tuesday added two more to the mix, as “Top Gun: Maverick” earned a solid six nominations (including an adapted screenplay nod that produced an audible reaction in the room where the nominations were read) and James Cameron’s “Avatar: The Way of Water” took four. But [“Blonde” star Ana de Armas](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/28/movies/blonde-review-marilyn-monroe.html) did make it into the best actress lineup, and another Netflix movie surged into the best-picture race at just the right time … (The 1930 adaptation of Remarque’s novel won best picture at the third Academy Awards, don’t forget.) The German-language adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque’s classic World War I novel was a favorite of many Oscar voters I spoke to, and could even be a formidable threat to nomination leader “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” since it offers a more traditional awards pick than that multiverse-jumping mind-bender. Meanwhile, “The Fabelmans” auteur Steven Spielberg earned his ninth best-director nomination, tying Martin Scorsese for the second most nominations in that category, behind William Wyler’s 13. Deadwyler’s deeply felt performance as the mother of Emmett Till had suffered a few notable snubs this season from the Independent Spirit Awards and Golden Globes, but Davis had cruised through the season so far, earning nominations from the Globes, Screen Actors Guild, Critics Choice Awards and BAFTA. That strategy earned the 41-year-old British actress her first nomination, and proved that when it comes to Oscar season, it ain’t over till it’s over. Though the best actress race often favors ingénues, male up-and-comers aren’t always regarded so warmly: The best actor category is typically stacked with veterans over 40, and the same famous names are nominated an awful lot. Though two of the last three best-picture winners were directed by Asian filmmakers, the academy has fallen short when it comes to nominating performers of Asian descent: Films like “Parasite” and “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” failed to earn even a single nomination for their acclaimed actors. A single awards campaign can involve a monthslong gantlet of interviews, red carpets, screening Q&As and voter handshakes, and not every contender can charge all those appearances to a corporate credit card.

Oscar Nominations 2023: Full List of Nominees (Variety)

The current Oscar season is approaching its home stretch, as nominations for this year's Academy Awards are announced Tuesday morning.

“The Fabelmans” marks Williams’ fifth nomination. At the same time, adult-oriented movies such as “The Fabelmans,” “Tár,” and “The Banshees of Inisherin” have struggled at the box office during the pandemic. Ke Huy Quan, a former child actor best known for his work in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” earned a best supporting actor nomination for his work in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” A few years ago, Quan had given up on acting, convinced that his career in front of the camera was over. He will compete for the director prize against Spielberg, Todd Field (“Tár”), Martin McDonagh (“The Banshees of Inisherin”), and the directing duo of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”). The last two best director winners, Jane Campion (“The Power of the Dog”) and Chloe Zhao (“Nomadland”), have been women, and there were some hopes that “Women Talking’s” Sarah Polley, “The Woman King’s” Gina Prince-Bythewood or “Aftersun’s” Charlotte Wells might receive best director nods. “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” a twisty sci-fi adventure, led the nominations for the 95th Academy Awards on Tuesday morning, picking up 11 nods.

The 2023 Oscar Nominations, and What Should Have Made the List (The New Yorker)

Actress Michelle Yeoh stands between Stephanie Hsu and Ke Huy Quan as they hold her back. “Everything Everywhere All at Once” received eleven Oscar nominations, ...

(I’m unfortunately sure that “ [Don’t Worry Darling](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-front-row/dont-worry-darling-is-so-much-more-than-hollywood-gossip-fodder),” one of the year’s best star-centric Hollywood films, will be rejected by the Academy, as it was by critics.) [Women Talking](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-front-row/women-talking-reviewed-a-sublime-script-a-merely-very-good-movie)” received a pair of nominations, for Best Picture and for its screenplay, and that the daring and subtle “ [Marcel the Shell with Shoes On](https://www.newyorker.com/goings-on-about-town/movies/marcel-the-shell-with-shoes-on),” a remarkable blend of stop-motion and live action, turns up as a nominee in the Animated Feature category. The overlap points to the very meaning of directing: the comprehensive influence on the work of everyone making a major contribution to the film at hand, from casting and the style of acting to the tone of lighting and the costumes and décor—and, of course, the script, whether or not the director is credited. Charlie Chaplin famously said that comedy is life in long shot and tragedy is life in closeup, and I’ve long thought that directors’ sense of distance is as important as that of timing. (The nostalgia that its success represents, above all, is for the Coen brothers’ early films—it catches something of their tone without their style, wit, or cinematic self-awareness.) The other international film to get a Best Picture nomination, “ [Triangle of Sadness](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-front-row/triangle-of-sadness-reviewed-were-on-a-yacht-and-were-puking),” is mainly in English, and its emotional world is painfully simplistic. Inasmuch as the Oscars are, eminently, aspirational—an image of what the industry prizes about itself and where it wants to be heading over all—what the list of nominees promises for slates of production in years ahead is fearsome. I’m keeping my list in this fantasyland in order to highlight the gap between what’s usually on the Academy’s radar and what’s going on in the world of movies at large. I’m against the individual branches making nominations in their categories; cinematographers, editors, actors have the knowledge and the understanding of their fields, but this practice results in a sort of guild protectionism that perpetuates norms instead of rewarding experiences. Jordan Peele is the Rodney Dangerfield of Hollywood—he gets no respect at all, at least, none since he won Best Original Screenplay for “ [Get Out](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/richard-brody/get-out-jordan-peeles-radical-cinematic-vision-of-the-world-through-black-eyes).” His, and his movies’, neglect is appalling and disturbing. [Nope](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-front-row/nope-is-one-of-the-great-movies-about-moviemaking)”—and it did not get nominated for anything. Bringing together Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan, great actors whose talents have been underutilized because of the dearth of substantial roles for Asian performers, along with [Jamie Lee Curtis](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-new-yorker-interview/jamie-lee-curtis-has-never-worked-hard-a-day-in-her-life) (who has endured the ageism that most actresses confront) and the near-newcomer (to movies) Stephanie Hsu, deserves an Oscar in itself. So does the bushel of nominations for “

[Normal People](https://concreteplayground.com/sydney/arts-entertainment/film-tv/normal-people-stan) favourite Paul Mescal received his first Oscar nomination for father-daughter drama Aftersun; the always-excellent [Brian Tyree Henry](https://concreteplayground.com/sydney/arts-entertainment/film-tv/brian-tyree-henry-interview-bullet-train) earned some love for his thoughtful turn in [Causeway](https://concreteplayground.com/sydney/arts-entertainment/film-tv/best-straight-to-streaming-movies-2022); Andrea Riseborough capitalised upon [celebrity support](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/jan/18/to-leslie-andrea-riseborough-oscar-campaign) to score a look-in for To Leslie; and movies with scene-stealing donkeys had the Academy braying with love, thanks to The Banshees of Inisherin's nominations and a Best International Feature Film nod for EO. [Babylon](https://concreteplayground.com/sydney/event/babylon-4), [Justin Hurwitz](https://concreteplayground.com/sydney/arts-entertainment/film-tv/justin-hurwitz-babylon-interview) And, it's utterly beloved by [awards bodies](https://concreteplayground.com/sydney/arts-entertainment/film-tv/golden-globe-winners-2023). [Brian Tyree Henry](https://concreteplayground.com/sydney/arts-entertainment/film-tv/brian-tyree-henry-interview-bullet-train), [Causeway](https://concreteplayground.com/sydney/arts-entertainment/film-tv/best-straight-to-streaming-movies-2022) [Everything Everywhere All At Once](https://concreteplayground.com/sydney/event/everything-everywhere-all-at-once-3) has lived up to its name. That includes completely overlooking phenomenal South Korean thriller [Turning Red](https://concreteplayground.com/sydney/arts-entertainment/film-tv/turning-red-disney-plus-review) But many of the Elvis Presley biopic's nods were for behind-the-scenes categories, which means nominations for the likes of cinematographer Mandy Walker, plus costume and production designer Catherine Martin. [Blonde](https://concreteplayground.com/sydney/arts-entertainment/film-tv/films-tv-shows-stream-2022-september) Her co-stars Ke Huy Quan and Stephanie Hsu were also recognised, in the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress fields respectively. The Michelle Yeoh-starring action-comedy was a global hit in cinemas.
