A perhaps surprisingly broad field of favorites with a radiant front runner is showing up for this year’s Oscars: When the nominations for the Hollywood gala, which will take place on March 10th, were announced on Tuesday, the physicist biopic “Oppenheimer” took the lead on Tuesday. by Christopher Nolan at the top of the field with 13 nominations – followed by Giorgos Lanthimo’s Frankenstein paraphrase “Poor Things” with 11 nominations.

“Oppenheimer” is in the running in practically all of the central categories: Cillian Murphy is nominated as the leading actor, director Nolan is among the filmmakers, Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr. are on board in the supporting actor categories and of course the work also ranks well in the Premier category Best Film with.

“Poor Things” also brought Lanthimos a nomination in the directing category, Emma Stone the chance to win the lead actress, Mark Ruffalo a nomination in the supporting actor category and here too the ticket for the Best Film section. Old master Martin Scorsese follows the other places in the field with his monumental “Killers of the Flower Moon”, which has a chance in 10 categories. This is followed by the feminist comedy “Barbie” by Greta Gerwig, which recently fell behind in the awards, and which still received eight nominations, but was neither in the running for directing nor for the main actors.
At least America Ferrara and Ryan Gosling can hope for the supporting cast. Bradley Cooper’s Bernstein biography “Maestro” is on the heels of “Barbie” with seven chances to win, with not only mastermind Cooper still in the running for best actor, but also, as expected, Carey Mulligan as Bernstein’s wife.
