"Barbenheimer" dominates Oscars noms

"Barbenheimer" rocked the box office last summer and now it's taking the Oscars by storm. Both "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" were nominated as best picture, with the latter leading the way with 13 nominations.

In a live telecast from Los Angeles, actors Zazie Beetz ("Atlanta," "Joker") and Jack Quaid ("The Boys," "Oppenheimer") and announced Oscar nominations on Tuesday morning. The nominations were a showcase of a year that was filled with strong movies that blew box office numbers out of the water, after the entertainment industry suffered from COVID-19-related slumps and a historic industry-wide dual labor strike that halted sets and movie promotion. Films like "Killers of Flower Moon" and "Poor Things" snagged numerous nods, rounding out a successful year in cinema.

With all the changes in the efforts made by the Academy to be more inclusive in their nominations, the Oscars this year recognized global films from 93 different countries, the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Janet Yang shared with the audience.

However, this year feels to last year's complete shutout of female directors. While three films directed by women were nominated for best picture, only Justine Triet got a nod for best director. That means "Barbie" director Greta Gerwig was lauded with a best picture nomination but wasn't deemed worthy of recognition for director nod. Nor was star Margot Robbie recognized for her lead role, with Ken (Ryan Gosling) once again stealing the show.
