24 Jan 2023 Oscar Nominations: ‘Everything Everywhere’ and ‘All Quiet’ Lead the Pack
Everything Everywhere All at Once getting in for Costume Design and Score (should’ve gone with my gut on this), and Original Song, all categories the film was not favored to get nominated in, is a clear indication of the overwhelming Academy-wide support it has. It led the pack with 11 nominations.
All Quiet on the Western Front announced itself as a tech giant, taking nine nominations. The war film followed up its massive BAFTA haul with reduced, but still impressive, results with the Academy.
They did what they did last year with Belfast’s Caitrona Balfe and Judi Dench. While Balfe did better with the precursor nominations, the Academy went with the veteran Dench come nominations morning. This time around, The Fabelmans’ Paul Dano performed better at the precursors, but his costar Judd Hirsch got in with the Academy.
Descendent becomes the first Higher Ground Oscar-eligible documentary film to miss Best Documentary. Making way for A House Made of Splinters to receive a nomination.
Ruben Ostlund got in for Triangle of Sadness and his film was selected for Picture over The Whale (which was snubbed in Adapted Screenplay as well). Brendan Fraser is still the front runner for Actor, but his path now seems slightly more difficult.
In the acting categories, Brian Tyree Henry (YES!), Paul Mescal (YES!), and Andrea Riseborough surprised with nominations. Riseborough’s inclusion is especially notable as she had a strong but incredibly last-minute campaign that was ran by her Hollywood friends. Her inclusion (along with Michelle Williams) led to both Danielle Deadwyler and Viola Davis being snubbed for Till and The Woman King respectively.
The Oscars will be televised on March 12th, live from the Dolby Theater on ABC.
