The 95th Academy Awards nominations were announced on Tuesday with “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” a science fiction film, leading the pack with 11 nominations. It was closely followed by “All Quiet on the Western Front,” a World War I drama, and “The Banshees of Inisherin,” a comedic film set during the Irish civil war, both of which received nine nominations. All three movies are nominated for best picture, making for a more commercially successful group of nominees compared to previous years. Other films in the running for best picture include the blockbuster hits “Avatar: The Way of Water” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” as well as “Elvis,” a musical biopic that was popular with audiences. Other notable nominees include “The Fabelmans,” directed by Steven Spielberg, “Tár,” a film about an abusive conductor, “Women Talking,” a film about a religious community, and “Triangle of Sadness,” a satire about the wealthy elite.
“Triangle of Sadness,” one of the most controversial films of the year, received nominations for its screenplay and for the direction of Ruben Östlund, the Swedish filmmaker behind the satire. He will be competing in the best director category against Steven Spielberg, Todd Field (“Tár”), Martin McDonagh (“The Banshees of Inisherin”), and the directing duo of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”). The category is entirely composed of men. The last two best director winners, Jane Campion (“The Power of the Dog”) and Chloe Zhao (“Nomadland”) have been women, and there were some expectations that “Women Talking’s” Sarah Polley might receive a best director nomination.
The announcement of the Oscar nominations comes at a difficult time for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, the organization behind the awards, and the film industry as a whole. Ratings for the Oscars have been in decline in recent years, which has affected the broadcast’s licensing fees, the primary source of revenue for the Academy. Additionally, adult-oriented movies such as “The Fabelmans,” “Tár” and “The Banshees of Inisherin” have struggled at the box office during the pandemic. Furthermore, streaming services, which have helped to fill the gap left by the decline in theatrical revenues by providing a platform and funding for artists, are also shifting their priorities. For example, Netflix has informed investors that it plans to keep content spending relatively stable while it focuses on increasing profits. However, this year’s Oscar season has featured several comeback stories. Ke Huy Quan, a former child actor known for his role in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” earned a best supporting actor nomination for his role in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” A few years ago, Quan had given up on acting, believing his career as an actor was over. Another comeback story is Brendan Fraser, a former action star whose career was hindered by health problems and personal struggles, but who has re-emerged as a powerful character actor with a transformative performance as a morbidly obese man in “The Whale.” He earned a nomination for best actor.
Jimmy Kimmel will return to host the Oscars, which will be his third time as the emcee. He previously hosted the awards show in 2017 and 2018. Last year, the Oscars returned to a host format with Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall, after going host-less the previous two years. The 95th Oscars will be held on Sunday, March 12, 2023, at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood and will be televised live on ABC.

These are not real Oscar nominations. The movies, actors, directors, and other categories mentioned in your text do not exist. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organization behind the Oscars, has not announced any nominations for the 95th Oscars that will be held on March 12, 2023, and Jimmy Kimmel has not been announced as the host. The text seems to be a fictional account of the Oscar nominations.
