- Major “Barbie” snubs, including Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie. While “Barbie” received several nods, including a best supporting actor nomination for Ryan Gosling, best supporting actress for America Ferrera and best original song for Billie Eilish’s “What was I Made For?”
- Marquee year for women directors. Women directors are behind three of the 10 movies up for best picture, setting an Academy Awards record. The movies are "Anatomy of a Fall," directed by Justine Triet; "Barbie" directed by Greta Gerwig and "Past Lives" directed by Celine Song.
- Some buzzy favorites were completely shut out. Despite all the online hype surrounding “Saltburn” in recent months, Emerald Fennell’s twisted gothic drama did not receive any Oscars nominations.
- A-listers dominated the best supporting actor category. Charles Melton and Dominic Sessa, who had been receiving Oscar buzz for their turns in “May December” and “The Holdovers,” respectively, were left out of the supporting actor category.
- Margot Robbie. No one campaigned harder than Robbie this awards season, attending every Q&A and roundtable imaginable to bang the drum for her billion-dollar blockbuster “Barbie.”
- Leonardo DiCaprio. “Killers of the Flower Moon” had a robust showing across the board, with 10 nods including best supporting actor (Robert De Niro) and best actress (Lily Gladstone, the first Native American nominated in the category).
- Greta Gerwig. Apparently, creating a pop-culture juggernaut isn’t enough to land a slot in the mostly male directing field. (Although we're elated Justine Triet made the cut for "Anatomy of a Fall"!)
- Charles Melton. It was an awards season Cinderella story: a young actor plucked from a teen soap (CW’s “Riverdale”), winning rave reviews and major critics’ prizes for his first dramatic turn in “May December,” in which he holds his own against Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore.
