When do the Oscars 2024 nominations start?

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Oscars 2024 nominations!

We’ve still got a bit of time until things kick off officially, so it’s the perfect opportunity to go into everything you need to know about the livestream itself.

This begins at1.30pm GMT/8.30am EST/5:30am PSTand can be watched via the official Academy AwardsYouTubechannel. If you’re tuning in from the UK, you can also watch them on ITV.

From experience, we know that the nominations come in very quickly, but don’t worry, we’ll keep you updated here on all of the latest announcements and via theTotal FilmTwitter account.

While we wait for the nominations to start, it’s a good time to look back at the2024 BAFTA nominationsto see who might be in with a shot. We’ve also got our own guide to thebest movies of 2023too for some of our picks.

With just over an hour until things kick off, it’s worth taking a look at who the frontrunners are at the moment.

We’re at an interesting stage in the awards season with some of the biggest ceremonies already behind us (including the Golden Globes) as well as nominations out for the 2024 BAFTAs. This all gives us a decent indication of who to expect to see nominated today.

At the moment, we’re predicting to see Oppenheimer and Poor Things among the frontrunners. Barbie and Killers of the Flower Moon will also likely have a good showing too, as will The Holdovers.

However, this is the Oscars so we are expecting some surprises. Last week’s BAFTA nominations taught us to expect the unexpected too,after that Lily Gladstone snub. So watch this space…

It’s worth noting too that the actual ceremony for the 2024 Oscars is a little way off still: it takes place onSunday, March 10.

The 96th edition of the awards show will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood in Los Angeles. You’ll be able to watch it live on ABC in the US, and in the early hours of March 11 in the UK on ITV.

But what happens between now and then? Well, it’s campaign time. Many of those hoping to win have already been campaigning for months now, but things heat up in the time before the actual ceremony.

The actual final voting takes place from February 22-27, after the annual nominees’ luncheon takes place on February 12. Expect plenty of press, social media, and photography opportunities before that.

The hosts for the 2024 Oscar nominations are Joker and Deadpool 2 star Zazie Beetz and The Boys actor Jack Quaid. Interestingly, Quaid also appeared in Oppenheimer, which looks set to get plenty of nominations this year. We’ll be watching closely to see his celebrations for that, then!

So let’s get into some predictions for what we’ll see this year. Kicking off with Best Director, it seems like Christopher Nolan is almost a guarantee at this point, and will also be the one to beat.

Expect to see Alexander Payne for The Holdovers and Yorgos Lanthimos for Poor Things too, as well as likely Justine Triet for Anatomy of a Fall. Martin Scorsese for Killers of the Flower Moon, Greta Gerwig for Barbie, Jonathan Glazer forThe Zone of Interest, and Celine Song forPast Livesare also in the running.

So, what about the acting categories? Well, as usual, there are four main ones to consider:Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor,andBest Supporting Actress. Some of these are looking tighter than others but there are a few people we’re almost certain will make the list.

Cillian Murphy and Paul Giamatti are likely to lead the Best Actor list, while Best Supporting Actor will likely feature Robert Downey Jr. and Sterling K. Brown. On the Best Actress side, Emma Stone and Lily Gladstone are likely, while Best Supporting Actress will almost certainly see Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Emily Blunt.

Now, this is one of the categories where shocks and surprises are likely, so keep an eye on it. Who knows, Ryan Gosling may even be nominated for Barbielike our writer hopes he will be.

The spotlight, as ever, will be firmly shining on this year’s Best Picture contenders. Remember, the Academy bumped up the number of nominees to 10, which means a few surprises often sneak in.

Even so, we’d expect Oppenheimer as a lock alongside the likes of Poor Things, The Holdovers, and Killers of the Flower Moon. Perennial fan favorite Barbie should also bring its Kenergy to the Best Picture lineup, while Past Lives, The Zone of Interest, and Anatomy of a Fall could give a more international flavor to proceedings.

That still leaves room for a handful of outsiders to stake their claim for the top prize.The Color Purple, American Fiction,Maestro,All of Us StrangersandMay Decembermay be there or thereabouts in the Best Picture nominations. We’ll find out in just under 30 minutes. Watch this space!

Oppenheimer leads the way with 13 nominations and is closely followed by Poor Things with 11 and Barbie with eight. The Holdovers, American Fiction, Killers of the Flower Moon, and The Zone of Interest all had strong showings too.

In fact, many of the names we expected to see were there in all the big categories, bar some notable exceptions. All of Us Strangers andSaltburncame away with nothing, while Margot Robbie didn’t land a Best Actress nomination for Barbie, nor did Greta Gerwig for Barbie. Others who lost out include Charles Melton for May December and Dominic Sessa for The Holdovers.

Speaking about those snubs, some fans have been sharing their reactions to one big one:Gerwig’s absence in the Best Director category. Despite becoming the first female director to ever earn $1 billion at the box office, she didn’t secure a directing nomination.

“Greta Gerwig made a film that was critically acclaimed, culturally impactful, hilarious, unique, visually exceptional, perfectly cast and acted, left people laughing, crying and thinking, AND made a billion dollars at the box office. But no Best Director nom,“wroteone on Twitter.
