Oscars 2023 Nominations List

Oscars 2023 Nominations List

The nominations for the biggest show of the Awards Season are here with plenty of surprises, as usual. The 95th Academy Awards ceremony will take place on Sunday 12th March 2023. Jimmy Kimmel will return to host the event, marking his third time hosting film’s biggest night of the year. He previously took the helm of the 2017 and 2018 ceremonies.

Everything Everywhere All at Once, a sci-fi adventure starring Michelle Yeoh, led the nominations for this year’s Academy Awards, with 11 nominations. It was followed closely behind by Netflix’s All Quiet on the Western Front, a World War I epic, and The Banshees of Inisherin, a dark comedy-drama set during the Irish civil war, both landing nine noms.

A surprising nomination went to Andrea Riseborough, whose performance as an alcoholic lottery winner in the indie picture To Leslie, scored her a leading actress nomination. Quite a surprise given that To Leslie made less than $30,000 at the Box Office. The campaign behind her nomination is currently under investigation by the Academy. Riseborough’s candidacy was supported by an advocacy campaign backed by A-listers like Edward Norton, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Cate Blanchett. It is argued that this endorsement breaks the rules laid out by The Academy.

UPDATE 01/02/23: The Academy will not remove Riseborough’s nomination following an investigation into her campaign.
