Being recognised by the Academy is a dream come true and a nomination can be life-changing, said actors Zazie Beetz and Jack Quaid as they took to the stage to announce nominations for the 96th Academy Awards, The Oscars, on January 23rd.
The two films, which dominated the box office last year and became known as the cultural phenomenon "Barbenheimer”, the battle lines had been clearly defined between Christopher Nolan‘s Oppenheimer and Greta Gerwig’s, Barbie. However the nominations snubbed Barbie in the major categories, Nolan who has been leading the show in the awards circuit so far, seems all set for Oscar glory
With Hollywood having been in turmoil with the biggest strike bringing the industry to a standstill, the hosts were categoric that celebrating writers was the need of the day.
