It was perhaps inevitable after last year saw Everything, Everywhere, All at Once take pretty much everything, everywhere at the 2023 Oscars, but 2024’s nominations are here, and for the most part sci-fi, fantasy, other genre movies’ representations are solidified around a few notable hits—and even then, mostly Barbie.
Barbie scored 8 nominations in total, with nods for Ryan Gosling in Best Supporting Actor, Best Picture, Costume Design, Best Original Song, Best Adapted Screenplay, and more, although was notably absent in nods for Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie in Best Director and Best Leading Actress, respectively. Elsewhere for Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things dominated with 13 nods, while Godzilla Minus One made notable history for its nomination in Best Visual Effects—Takashi Yamazaki’s nomination makes him the first director to get a nod in the category since Stanley Kubrick did so in 1968 for 2001: A Space Odyssey.
