Its officially Oscars season.

Nominations for the 96th Academy Awards were announced Tuesday morning at the Academys Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Los Angeles by Zazie Beetz, who starred in the Oscar-winning Joker (2019), and Oppenheimer star Jack Quaid .

The ceremony is once again being held at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, and Jimmy Kimmel will return as host for a fourth time. While that will feel familiar, the show could also bring with it some firsts: Killers of the Flower Moon star Lily Gladstone , who was nominated Tuesday for her performance in Martin Scorsese s historical drama, could become the first Native American to ever earn a competitive acting Academy Award.

Scorsese himself made history Tuesday with his 10th nod for directing passing Steven Spielberg to become the most-Oscar-nominated living director. He trails behind only the late William Wyler, who died in 1981 with 12 nominations in the category.

The award show has recently endured some difficult years, as the ceremony in 2021 was heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and 2022s event was overshadowed by Will Smiths slap .

This years ceremony, on March 10, will arrive after a jam-packed awards season that has already included the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards and comes just months after an end to the writers and actors strikes that defined Hollywood in 2023.

Leading up to Tuesdays announcements, meanwhile, Christopher Nolans Oppenheimer and Greta Gerwigs Barbie were among the most buzzed-about contenders. Their simultaneous release in July had spurred a passionate Barbenheimer fandom that saw moviegoers book back-to-back tickets and caused Barbie to make history as the first-ever billion-dollar movie directed by a solo woman.

That buzz officially continued Tuesday, as Oppenheimer and Barbie received 13 and eight nominations, respectively. The former, whose lead performance by Cillian Murphy has now earned him his first-ever Oscar nod, could also result in Nolans first-ever Oscar win for Best Director.
