Barbie
Nominations: 8
The year’s highest-grossing film, and the one that most energized the cultural zeitgeist, seemed to make itself, as Billy Crystal’s old joke goes: The Academy didn’t see fit to nominate Greta Gerwig for her achievements in transforming what could have been a simple Intellectual property money grabbing is a phenomenon. The disdain for lead actress Margot Robbie also hurts, especially since Ryan “Just Ken” Gosling was included [shakes fist at the patriarchy]. Still, eight nominations is not bad for a film based on a toy.

American fiction
Nominations: 5
Writer-director Cord Jefferson’s comedy-drama about a frustrated black writer (Jeffrey Wright) who writes a pandering, stereotypical novel about black Americans living the gang life only to see it taken seriously is getting unexpected but well-deserved Oscar love. The reference to This Is Us ‘ Sterling K. Brown, who plays Wright’s gay brother, is especially welcome, as it underscores the film’s message that stories about the black American experience can and should embrace much more than poverty and inner-city gang life.

Leftovers

Area of interest
Nominations: 4
Jonathan Glaser’s extraordinary Holocaust-era drama, set on the idyllic estate of a German officer who lives on the outskirts of a concentration camp but never sets foot inside the camp itself, is nominated for both best international feature and best picture. a good bet for the former, if not the latter.

Where to watch: At the cinema.
Napoleon
Nominations: 3
Ridley Scott’s historical epic received a mixed reception and wasn’t a big success at the box office, but the Academy did show it some love. Perhaps the four-hour director’s cut that will eventually air on Apple TV+ will attract more attention.
Nominations: Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, Best Visual Effects.

Creator
Nominations: 2

Where to watch: Netflix

Boy and heron
Nominations: 1
Hayao Miyazaki still has it, and if this does turn out to be his last film, it will be a fitting swan song. (It’s a shame, though, that Joe Hisaishi’s score was missing—did John Williams really need to be honored for the 54th time for his fifth Indiana Jones score?).
Nomination: Best Animated Film

Nominations: 1
Early rumors pegged the Broad The Color Purple musical adaptation as a top awards season contender, but for some reason it seems to have fallen out of the zeitgeist. That said, congratulations to Danielle Brooks.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Nominations: 1
While the superhero action genre is becoming increasingly boring, there’s still a lot of heart and innovation to be found in Spidey.
