Academy Awards 2023: full list of Oscar nominations
Michelle Yeoh is second Asian woman to get best actress nomination, Naatu Naatu first Indian film song to be nominated.
The nominations for the 95th Academy Awards have been announced, with sci-fi family drama, Everything Everywhere all at Once, leading the pack with 11 nods, followed by German anti-war movie, All Quiet on the Western Front, and Irish black comedy, The Banshees of Inisherin, with both nabbing nine nominations.
Several categories announced during the televised ceremony in Los Angeles, California on Tuesday made history.
For the first time, two sequels — Top Gun: Maverick and, Avatar: The Way of Water — were nominated for best picture. Malaysian Michelle Yeoh, who starred in the genre-bending, Everything Everywhere all at Once, became the second Asian woman to be nominated for best actress since the awards were first held in 1929.
Still, some criticised the lack of Black women in the best actress category, with neither Viola Davis nor Danielle Deadwyler recognised, despite being seen as leading contenders in advance of the nominations for their roles in, The Woman King, and, Till, respectively.
The snub comes amid a years-long push to make the awards more inclusive.
In the best supporting actress category, Angela Bassett became the first star in a Marvel superhero movie ever to earn an Oscar acting nomination for, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Meanwhile, the song, Naatu Naatu, from the Telegu-language Indian film, RRR, also broke barriers, becoming the first song from a completely Indian production to be nominated for the prestigious award. The film followed two Indian revolutionaries’ struggle against British colonial rule.
