00:00 The nominations for the 96th annual Academy Awards were revealed,
00:03 leaving many shocked and stunned in a few categories, most notably for Leonardo DiCaprio,
00:08 Greta Gerwig, and Margot Robbie being left out and many, many more.
00:11 Oppenheimer leads the pack with 13 nominations, Poor Things with 11, and Killers of the Flower
00:20 Moon with 10 noms. Among those nominated, 10 stars earned their first ever nominations,
00:26 but there were some noticeable absences that had many quite upset. Here's the complete breakdown.
00:30 It's Aniwander Reporting.
00:31 Fans were so upset after Leonardo DiCaprio was missing from the Best Actor category in Killers
00:36 of the Flower Moon. The actor played Ernest Buckhart, opposite of Louis Gladstone,
00:40 who earned a Best Actress nomination.
00:42 Co-star Robert De Niro was recognized in the Best Supporting Actor category for the film as well,
00:55 leaving many heartbroken to see that DiCaprio did not get the nod. Moving on to The Color Purple,
00:59 the film only earned one nomination, with Daniel Brooks taking home the nod for Supporting Actress.
01:04 Cast members Fantasia Barrino and Taraji P. Henson unfortunately did not get the nomination
01:09 as they were looking for. Even though Barbie scored a number of nods for the Oscars,
01:19 including Best Picture, Greta Gerwig was left out of the Best Director category,
01:23 although she landed a Best Adapted Screenplay nomination. Additionally,
01:27 Margot Robbie did not earn a nomination for her role, but she is recognized as a producer in the
01:32 Best Picture lineup. As of this year, Justine Triatt became the eighth woman nominated for Best
01:42 Director. Lena Woodmore became the first woman to win the category a whopping 47 years after the
01:47 Oscars began, and it took another 32 years for a second woman, Katherine Bigelow, to actually win.
01:52 Looking at other categories, the drama Past Live scored nods for Best Picture and Best Original
01:56 Screenplay, but star Greta Lee did not get a spot in the Best Actress pool. Willem Dafoe did not
02:01 make it in his supporting role for Poor Things either, though his co-star Mark Ruffalo slid in
02:06 the category, and earning the film many more nods. Emerald Fennell, Salt Fern, Ben Affleck's Heir,
02:10 Andrew High's All of Us Strangers, Sofia Coppola's Priscilla, and Ava DuVernay's Origin earned zero
02:16 nominations across the board. Wonka and The Iron Claw were also shut out altogether. Asteroid City
02:21 also landed zero nods, though its director Wes Anderson was recognized in Best Live Action Short
02:26 for his The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. Overall, many were displeased with the lack
02:30 of diversity in the nominations for the awards this year, as well as the female nominations
02:34 across multiple categories. The 96th Annual Academy Awards will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel
02:39 and will air Sunday, March 10 at 7 p.m. Eastern on ABC.
