The 2023 Academy Awards has announced the full nominations list for the 95th edition of the Academy Awards. Like every Oscar nomination, this year’s nomination list has been met with mixed reactions.
Firstly, Michelle Yeoh’s nomination in Everything Everywhere All at Once is praised for breaking boundaries as she becomes the first woman Asian actress to be nominated in the Best Actress category in the history of the Academy Awards.
However, the academy is under fire for not nominating a black actress in the Best Actress Category as both Viola Davis (The Woman King) and Danielle Deadwyler (Till) were snubbed.
Furthermore, no female directors were nominated this year as Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Woman King), Sarah Polley (Women Talking), Charlotte Wells (Aftersun), and Chinonye Chukwu (Till) were all snubbed raising eyebrows about the boy scout-ish nature of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Other notable snubs that have been doing round on social media are Taylor Swift in the Original Song category for her “Carolina” tune from Where the Crawdads Sing and Tom Cruise despite Top Gun: Mavericks getting two nominations
However, Nigeria’s finest music export Temilade “Tems” Openiyi made Nigerian history as she becomes the first Nigerian artiste to be nominated for an Oscar for her work on Lift Me Up – Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
India’s Naatu Naatu continues to break ground as it becomes the first song from a completely Indian production to be nominated for the Oscars Award.
Everything Everywhere all at Once led the nomination list this year with 11 nominations, followed by Netflix’s German anti-war movie, All Quiet on the Western Front, and Irish black comedy, The Banshees of Inisherin, with nine nominations each.
The 2023 Academy Awards will take place on the 12th of March, 2023 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
