Not sure what was the biggest surprise overall, but the best picture nominees were exactly as expected.

After a tumultuous movie year marred by strikes and work stoppages, the Academy Awards showered nominations Tuesday on Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster biopic, “Oppenheimer,” which came away with a leading 13 nominations.

Nolan’s three-hour opus, viewed as the best picture frontrunner, received nods for best picture; Nolan’s direction; acting nominations for Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt; and multiple honors for the craft of the J. Robert Oppenheimer drama.

Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” wasn’t far behind with eight nominations, including nods for best picture; Ryan Gosling for best supporting actor; and two best-song candidates in “What Was I Made For” and “I’m Just Ken.” But Gerwig was surprisingly left out of the best director field.

Both Martin Scorsese’s Osage epic “Killers of the Flower Moon” and Yorgos Lanthimos’ Frankenstein riff “Poor Things” were also widely celebrated. “Poor Things” landed 11 nods, while “Killers of the Moon” was nominated for 10 Oscars.

Lily Gladstone, star of “Killers of the Flower Moon,” became the first Native American nominated for best actress. For the 10th time, Scorsese was nominated for best director. Leonardo DiCaprio, though, was left out of best actor.

Those four contenders made for a maximalist quartet of Oscar heavyweights. Nolan’s sprawling biopic. Gerwig’s near-musical. Scorsese’s pitch-black Western. Lanthimos’ sumptuously designed fantasy. Each utilized a wide spectrum of cinematic tools to tell big, often disturbing big-screen stories. And each — even Apple’s biggest-budgeted movie yet, “Killers of the Flower Moon” — had robust theatrical releases that saved streaming for months later.

The 10 films nominated for best picture were: “Oppenheimer,” “Barbie,” “Poor Things,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “The Holdovers,” “Maestro,” “American Fiction,” “Past Lives,” “Anatomy of a Fall” and “The Zone of Interest.”

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm surprised Emma Stone didn't get nominated based on all the buzz.

Also, no Greta Gerwig for Best Director, and no Leo for Best Actor is a little surprising.

In Variety and Avclub they say Emma Stone is nominated and they leave out Margot Robbie

Yeah, there wasnt any surprise here. Maybe Anatomy Of a Fall getting the nod to best pic and best director? maybe Cooper not getting that nomination?

Im glad Carey Mulling got a nom, she is great in Maestro. Ferrara was just embarrassing in Barbie, i dont get that nomination at all. Blunt was somewhat disappoiting. I hope De Niro wins.

Best director? ill be ok if Nolan gets it, because there is no way they are giving it to Marty.

Best dp? Prieto, Libatique or van Hoytema.

No Margot Robbie is weird, it would have been the only justificable oscar to me for Barbie. The whole movie belongs to her an in a lesser way, Gosling.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Yes, the BBC must have gotten that one wrong. Strange.
