Nominations Tue 23.Jan.24 • Awards Sun 10.Mar.24

Rich's comments: As always, the Oscar voters tend to lean heavily on the more old-Hollywood kinds of films at the nominations stage (then often turn more adventurous with the winners). There are some glaring omissions here this year, most jarring is the complete snubs for All of Us Strangers and Saltburn and near misses for Past Lives and May December. The winners were fairly predictable, with nice surprises for Emma Stone, Godzilla Minus One and Poor Things sweeping the artistic categories. Plus deserved love for The Zone of Interest and Anatomy of a Fall.
