M3GAN star Allison Williams (without her terrifying doll) and Sound of Metal star Riz Ahmed revealed the nominees for the 2023 Oscars on Jan. 24 — leading to several snubs and surprises. The 95th Academy Awards, which will be televised live on ABC on March 12 at 8 p.m. ET, will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel from inside Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre. This marks Kimmel’s third time as the emcee, joining Jerry Lewis, Steve Martin, Conrad Nagel, and David Niven as three-time hosts.

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s critically acclaimed Everything Everywhere All At Once leads the pack with 11 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress for Michelle Yeoh, Best Supporting Actor for Ke Huy Quan, and Best Supporting Actress for both Stephanie Hsu and Jamie Lee Curtis. The Banshees of Inisherin and All Quiet on the Western Front followed with nine nods apiece, including Best Picture.

On the acting front, Angela Bassett became the first actor to be nominated for a Marvel film, getting recognized as Best Supporting Actress for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, alongside Hsu, Curtis, Hong Chau, and Kerry Condon. Remarkably, Hollywood’s late awards season push for Andrea Riseborough paid off, as she got nominated for Best Actress alongside Yeoh, Cate Blanchett, Ana de Armas, and Michelle Williams. In the Best Original Song category, Rihanna became a first-time nominee with “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, while Lady Gaga received her fourth Oscar nod for “Hold My Hand” from Top Gun: Maverick.

Of course, with this many notable nominations come many snubs. Despite Avatar: The Way of Water breaking box office records and getting a Best Picture nod, James Cameron was passed over for Best Director, as were all female filmmakers. Widely predicted contenders Danielle Deadwyler and Viola Davis were snubbed in Best Actress, meaning that no Black women were nominated in the category, and the star-studded cast of Women Talking did not land a single acting nomination.

Kimmel previously hosted the Oscars in 2017 and 2018, the former of which is best known for the infamous La La Land debacle. The late-night host proved himself adept at managing crisis situations live, making him an ideal choice to helm the first Oscars since Will Smith slapped Chris Rock onstage in 2022. As a result, Smith was banned from attending the Oscars for 10 years, so while presenters and performers have yet to be confirmed, don’t expect Smith to be on the list.

Read below for the full list of 2023 Oscar nominees.
