Eight additional films are anticipated to compete for Best Picture, including the highly anticipated movies from last year, Barbie and Oppenheimer. Poor Things, Anatomy of a Fall, American Fiction, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, and Past Lives are among the contenders.

In the International Films category, Promised Land (Denmark), Fallen Leaves (Finland), The Taste of Things (France), Amerikatsi (Armenia), The Monk and the Gun (Bhutan), and The Teachers' Lounge (Germany) are the films that have been shortlisted.

As for the music category in the Oscar nominations 2024, two of the three Barbie songs made the shortlist: Dance the Night, I'm Just Ken, and What Was I Made For? But which one will receive a nomination for Best Original Song will be known once announced.

Also, Diane Warren, who is vying for her seventh consecutive nomination, hopes to secure her 15th nomination for The Fire Inside from Flamin' Hot. Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, it seems, might make the late Robbie Robertson the first composer to be nominated posthumously for Best Original Score in 47 years.


The 96th Academy Awards will be broadcast live on Sunday, March 10, 2024, by ABC from the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, California.
