Being recognised by the Academy is a dream come true and a nomination can be life-changing, said actors Zazie Beetz and Jack Quaid as they took to the stage to announce nominations for the 96th Academy Awards, The Oscars, on January 23rd.
The two films, which dominated the box office last year and became known as the cultural phenomenon “Barbenheimer”, once again lock horns for the biggest showdown. The battle lines have been clearly defined between Christopher Nolan‘s Oppenheimer and Greta Gerwig’s, Barbie. Though both won multiple nominations, Nolan has been leading the show in the awards circuit so far.
With Hollywood having been in turmoil with the biggest strike bringing the industry to a standstill, the hosts were categoric that celebrating writers was the need of the day.
