Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another followed with 13 nominations, marking a stellar one-two punch for Warner Bros. The studio scored 30 nominations in total, tying its record number of nominations set in 2005. Indie distributor Neon and streamer Netflix had 18 noms each, while Focus Features had 13 and A24 had 11.

Netflix’s Frankenstein, A24’s Marty Supreme and Neon’s Sentimental Value all garnered nine nominations, while Focus’ Hamnet had eight. All are in the marquee Best Picture race joining Sinners, One Battle, Focus’ Bugonia, Apple’s F1, Neon’s The Secret Agent and Netflix’s Train Dreams.

The biggest surprise of the morning was without question the entire shutout pitched by Wicked: For Good, just one year after the first film in the franchise scored 10 nominations, converting in two categories.

Among other surprises were the omissions of Guillermo del Toro for Best Directing and the omissions of two widely tipped actors: Paul Mescal (Hamnet) for Best Supporting Actor and Chase Infiniti (One Battle After Another) in the Best Actress category.

A number of records and milestones were achieved this morning. At 30, Marty Supreme star Timothée Chalamet has become the youngest male actor since Marlon Brando to earn three acting nominations. 

Steven Spielberg (Hamnet) received his 14th nomination for Best Picture, a record for an individual producer (since 1951, when producers were first named as nominees).

International films scored well again. A record four non-English language performances are nominated this year (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Wagner Moura, Renate Reinsve and Stellan Skarsgård). The previous record of three was set in 1976 (Marie-Christine Barrault, Giancarlo Giannini and Liv Ullmann). This comes after international actors were shut out in SAG-AFTRA’s Actor Awards nominations.

The Secret Agent and Sentimental Value are the 12th and 13th non-English-language films to be nominated for both International Feature Film and Best Picture in the same year. Parasite in 2020, also from Neon, is the only film to win both International Feature Film and Best Picture. For the eighth year in a row, at least one non-English-language film has been nominated in the Best Picture category. Click through a photo gallery of the winners in the category here.

The Animated Feature race features the highest-grossing Hollywood toon of all time (Walt Disney Studios’ Zootopia 2) and Netflix’s most popular film ever (KPop Demon Hunters), along with Neon’s Arco, Disney/Pixar’s Elio and Gkids’ Little Amélie or the Character of Rain.

The 98th Oscars will be held on Sunday, March 15, at the Dolby Theater at Ovation Hollywood and will air live on ABC and streaming on Hulu. Conan O’Brien returns as host.

    Was Conclave eligible? I think it is an excellent movie with excellent performances.

    Sinners will go down like The Color Purple for the under 40 today. The Color Purple had the most nominations at the time and won nothing. Yes, Whoopie, Oprah and the film deserved to win.

    Sinners was decent at best, but nothing about it deserves an Oscar.

    No Jesse Plemons for Bugonia? He carried that film just as much as Emma. I hate that he is not nominated for best actor.
