Finally, we have the 2023 Oscar nominees!

The nominations for the 95th Academy Awards were officially announced Tuesday, January 24 via livestream by Oscar winner Riz Ahmed (“Sound of Metal,” “The Night Of”) and Allison Williams (“M3GAN,” “Get Out,” “Girls”).

“Everything Everywhere All at Once” led the pack with 11 nominations, including for Best Picture, as well as Director for Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, and acting nominees for Stephanie Hsu, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ke Huy Quan, and Michelle Yeoh.

“The Banshees of Inisherin” received nine nominations overall, including for acting contenders Kerry Condon, Brendan Gleeson, Barry Keoghan, and Colin Farrell.

“All Quiet on the Western Front” also stunned with eight nominations, representing just what a strong push Netflix gave it the past few months and the story’s undeniable power. Observers recognized it could be a big contender based on how well it performed on the Oscar longlists in December.

Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” also received eight nominations, including for Best Picture and Austin Butler for Best Actor, but Luhrmann himself was left out of Best Director.

“The Fabelmans” received seven nominations, including Steven Spielberg for Best Director. Of note, John Williams became the oldest nominee for a competitive Oscar ever with, at 90, his nod for Best Original Score.

“Top Gun: Maverick” got six nominations, including for Best Picture. But Tom Cruise was not nominated for Best Actor, as some had been thinking he might. “TAR” also received six nominations.

By comparison, it was a muted showing for “Avatar: The Way of Water,” which, despite raking in the box office and its predecessor’s stunning Oscar nominations performance, only received four nods, including Picture. James Cameron was shut out of Director.

“Women Talking” only received two nominations, and “Triangle of Sadness” three. But the ones for “Triangle” were especially impressive, given that the film didn’t turn up elsewhere: Original Screenplay, Director, and Picture.

The 95th Academy Awards will take place Sunday, March 12 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Jimmy Kimmel is set to return as the host for the third time, with the telecast streaming on ABC.com, Hulu Live TV, and YouTubeTV in addition to broadcast.

Big blockbuster films like “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” and “Top Gun: Maverick” are also recognized by the Academy.
