As the Oscar nominations were announced on Tuesday by Jack Quaid and Zazie Beetz, Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer emerged on top with 13 nominations. Emily Blunt, who has been an awards season frontrunner in the Best Actress In a Supporting Role category, will look to bag an Oscar as well.

Surprise entry for Barbie actress 

America Ferrera, who has been largely shut out of the awards seasons race, managed to bag a surprise nomination for her supporting role in the Greta Gerwig directorial. While Ryan Gosling bagged a nomination in the Supporting Actor category for his role as Ken in the film, lead actress Margot Robbie failed to earn a nomination in the Leading Actress category. This year is all the more special for Gosling as he has also been nominated in the Best Original Song category for his track I'm Ken. In total, Barbie has bagged 8 nominations across 23 categories at the 96th Academy Awards.
