The Oscars 2024 nominations are finally here - and there are some big surprises

Award season is in full swing, and we've already seen the stars gathering in a number of sparkling Los Angeles' hotspots to celebrate the best in film and TV. America Ferrera's powerful acceptance speech at the Critics Choice Awards went viral, the Emmy Awards goodie bags were a sight to behold and the Golden Globes confirmed that Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet aren't just dating - they are madly in love. 

While there are a few more awards shows before we land at the Oscars 2024, the 96th Academy Awards is set to be a *big* one. This year, the A-listers will be gathering at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday 10th March, with some huge contenders in the mix for those coveted golden statuettes - and it looks like Oppenheimer, Barbie, Killers of the Flower Moon and Poor Things will scoop up multiple accolades. 

So, who is up for one of the most prestigious achievements in Hollywood? The Oscars 2024 nominations have been announced - and here they are. Oppenheimer could be the biggest winner of the night given its 13 nominations, while Poor Things is hot on its heels with 11 nominations. Not far behind them, Killers of the Flower Moon has 10 nominations, while Barbie struck 8 - and secured itself on the Best Picture list. 

However, the nominations have already proved to be a little controvesial. While America Ferrera and Ryan Gosling have been nominated in the Supporting categories for their performances in Barbie, Margot Robbie missed out on the Best Actress list. Leonardo DiCaprio also missed a nod in the Best Actor category, while only one female director is found on the Best Director shortlist.
