The 2023 Oscar nominations are out and this year’s show promises to be a spirited affair, with a host of fan-favorite flicks vying for an Academy Award against some less widely-seen critical darlings.
The hit indie smash Everything Everywhere All At Once leads all films with 11 nominations, including nods for Best Picture, and acting noms for Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, Stephanie Hsu, and Ke Huy Quan.
Elvis and The Fabelmans also picked up Best Picture nominations, along with Avatar: The Way of Water, The Banshees of Inisherin, Tár, Top Gun: Maverick, Triangle of Sadness, and Women Talking.
Everything culminates at the 95th annual Academy Awards ceremony,
which takes place March 12 at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.
