Oscars 2024: Barbie Dominates with Five Nominations as Shortlist for 10 Categories Unveiled
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recently unveiled shortlists across 10 categories for the highly anticipated Oscars 2024 ceremony. Notably, Greta Gerwig’s visually vibrant and whimsical film, Barbie, emerges as a frontrunner, securing a remarkable five nominations. Its dominance shines brightest within the Best Original Song category, boasting an impressive trio of entries. Dua Lipa’s infectious anthem ‘Dance the Night,’ Billie Eilish’s evocative ‘What Was I Made For?,’ and the emotionally resonant ‘I’m Just Ken’ performed by star Ryan Gosling and crafted by writer-composer Mark Ronson all clinched coveted spots on the list. Unexpectedly, however, the film missed out on nods in the makeup and hairstyling category, while rather unconventional choices like Beau Is Afraid, Ferrari, and Oppenheimer found their place among the selected contenders.
