Oscar Nominations: The Complete List Of Nominees

When Riz Ahmed and Allison Williams dropped the nominations for the 95th Oscars on Tuesday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had for the first time in awhile the most wide open and competitive race in years.

There is something for everyone here. There are two billion-dollar-grossing films in the Best Picture mix in Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water. Both are sequels. This might well help the Oscarcast that have been in steady decline over the past pandemic-plagued years.

Also helping is the chance to see Rihanna and Lady Gaga perform their nominated tunes for Wakanda Forever and Top Gun: Maverick, respectively. They will compete against perennial nominee Diane Warren, who is up for the award yet again for the film Tell It Like A Woman. There is also the rousing theme from RRR, and the prospect of Talking Heads leader David Byrne for Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Fans of the underdog have rooting interest beyond the surprising and delightful nominations of Brian Tyree Henry’s Best Supporting Actor nom for the film Causeway, and Andrea Riseborough’s Best Actress turn in To Leslie, the latter the result of a grass-roots campaign waged by industry admirers of her performance in the little-seen film. No fewer than 15 of the major category nominees are first timers.

Also on the underdog track is A24’s mulitverse-spanning Everything Everywhere All at Once, which scored a leading 11 nominations. That includes Ke Huy Quan, who began his career as the Indiana Jones sidekick Short Round, and hung in there until this historic moment, which included co-star Michelle Yeoh becoming the first Asian actress to be nominated for Best Actress, in a role that writer-directors Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert wrote originally for Jackie Chan. Searchlight’s quirky Irish yarn The Banshees of Inisherin and Netflix’s All Quiet on the Western Front followed in overall noms with nine apiece. Latter is a story that was first told onscreen in 1930, winning two Oscars.
