This year's Oscar nominations ran the gamut, from mega blockbusters and quiet indies to provocative documentaries and flashy animated spectacles.
The 10 nominees for Best Picture are "American Fiction," "Anatomy of a Fall," "Barbie," "The Holdovers," "Killers of the Flower Moon," "Maestro," "Oppenheimer," "Past Lives," "Poor Things" and "Zone of Interest."
The frontrunner is, without a doubt, "Oppenheimer." As TG's Rory Mellon noted in his Oscar predictions, it's earned every major precursor so far. It should also rake in other awards, including Director for Christopher Nolan and Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr.
The 2024 Oscars ceremony will televise all 23 awards and performances by all five Best Song nominees. Jimmy Kimmel is hosting again, though let's hope there's no repeat of the "Moonlight"/"La La Land" debacle.
Here's everything you need to watch the 2024 Oscars online. Plus, check out what else you can watch this weekend.
