It’s Oscar season and the nominations are in, sparking the annual mix of Hollywood hullabaloo and speculative chatter. Netflix is the front-runner with a hefty 18 nominations, rocking the best picture category among others. But here’s a bit of an awards conundrum: If you conglomerate all of Disney’s cinematic offspring under its massive entertainment umbrella, they’ve managed to scrounge up 20 nods. That’s right, from the House of Mouse to a galaxy far, far away, Disney’s diversified dominion has put up quite the fight in this year’s Oscar battle.
There’s also a new challenger approaching: Apple, the tech titan turned Tinseltown trailblazer, nabbed 13 nominations, not too shabby for a newcomer. Universal, meanwhile, sticks to its old-school cred with 13 nods of its own, including Oppenheimer, which is generating atomic levels of buzz. Across this star-studded battlefield, internet citizens are shaking their digital fists over noteworthy snubs – Greta Gerwig’s directorial oversight and Margot Robbie’s absence from the best actress list are particularly contentious.
What’s the moral of the story? Whether you’re a streaming service, a multimedia empire, or a tech giant spinning stories, the road to Oscar glory is a veritable popularity contest, with surprises at every turn. Also, for those seeking a break from the prestige, A24’s involvements range from Oscar contenders to a quirky firehouse comedy, proof that Hollywood wears many hats, some tinsel-trimmed, and some… well, covered in soot.
Below are the nominees. The 96th Academy Awards will be handed out on Sunday, March 10th. Jimmy Kimmel will once again host.
