Oppenheimer is leading the 2024 Oscar nominations with 13 nods.
The shortlist for the 96th Academy Awards was announced on Tuesday (January 23) and the World War II drama — which stars Cillian Murphy in the title role of the theoretical physicist — is leading the way.
The film is up for Best Picture, whilst filmmaker Christopher Nolan is up for Best Director and former Peaky Blinders star Cillian is up for Actor in a Leading Role.
Cillian will face competition from Bradley Cooper for his role in Maestro, Colman Domingo for Rustin, Paul Giamatti for The Holdovers and Jeffrey Wright for American Fiction, whilst those up for Actress in a Leading Role include Lily Gladstone for Killers of the Flower Moon, Annette Bening for Nyad, Sandra Hüller for Anatomy of a Fall and Carey Mulligan for Maestro.
Coming up behind with 11 nominations is the comedy Poor Things — which stars Emma Stone as a woman brought back to life by an unorthodox scientist — whilst The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon and Barbie are also among the top nominees.
Over the summer, Oppenheimer went head-to-head with Greta Gerwig's hit comedy based on the iconic Mattel doll — which eventually earned almost $1.5 billion at the box office whilst Oppenheimer brought in $953.8 million — and the two will both go up against each other once again for the title of Best Picture.
Other nominees for the coveted accolade include American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, Maestro, Past Lives, and The Zone of Interest.
Barbie received a total of eight nods, including Ryan Gosling for Best Actor in a Supporting Role whilst his character Ken's song I'm Just Ken is up for Best Original Song, as is the Billie Eilish track What Was I Made For? which appears in the closing section of the film.
The 96th Academy Awards will take place on Sunday March 10 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, and will be hosted by late night star Jimmy Kimmel for the fourth time.
