The best ensemble category includes American Fiction, Barbie, The Color Purple, Killers of the Flower Moon, and Oppenheimer, surprisingly excluding Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, a winner at the Golden Globes.
Notable Omissions and Controversies
The absence of Poor Things and DiCaprio from the ensemble category stirred discussions, especially considering the film’s victory at the Golden Globes.
Emma Stone received a nomination for best actress, while Willem Dafoe made the list for best supporting actor, overshadowing Mark Ruffalo’s absence.
Comprehensive Nominations and Exclusions
Nominees for various categories included Bradley Cooper, Colman Domingo, Paul Giamatti, Cillian Murphy, and Jeffrey Wright for best actor, leaving DiCaprio overlooked despite initial expectations.
Actresses like Lily Gladstone and Penelope Cruz made the list, while acclaimed film May December faced complete exclusion.
Announcement and Context
The nominations were revealed on Instagram Live by Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani.
