The list of nominees includes iconic figures like Steven Spielberg, who added to his record with thirteen Best Picture nominations, Martin Scorsese, achieving his tenth Best Director nomination and earning the distinction as the oldest nominee in the category. Thelma Schoonmaker garnered her ninth Best Film Editing nomination, while composer John Williams received his 54th nomination. Noteworthy also is Willie D. Burton, marking his eighth nomination as a below-the-line crew member.
This year’s Oscars marked the debut for ten actors, and the acting nominations featured portrayals from three openly LGBTQ+ actors: Colman Domingo, Jodie Foster, and Lily Gladstone.
