The excitement surrounding the nominations was palpable, with many industry insiders weighing in on the potential snubs and surprises. Notably, ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’, directed by Martin Scorsese, leads the nomination pack with seven nods, including Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Director for Scorsese, and Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for Leonardo DiCaprio. Another significant contender is ‘Barbie’, which has captured the attention of audiences and critics alike, earning nominations for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for Margot Robbie. However, some notable omissions raised eyebrows, particularly in the Best Director category, where many expected to see the likes of Greta Gerwig for ‘Barbie’ and Aurora Guerrero for ‘Something Like a Love Song’. Erin Moriarty commented, ‘It’s a bittersweet moment. The work of women in film felt sidelined.’ Demi Moore also expressed her surprise at the lack of recognition for some actors, stating, ‘This year has been full of performances that truly deserved a nod.’ Additionally, Cynthia Erivo, who starred in ‘The Color Purple’, received a nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, but expressed concern about visibility for Black filmmakers in the industry.
