The 2024 Oscar nominations were announced this morning, with Zazie Beetz (Joker, Deadpool 2) and Jack Quaid (The Boys, Scream) revealing this year's nominees in all major categories live from the Film Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater.

We were wondering if Greta Gerwig's Barbie would receive any recognition, and the critically-acclaimed fantasy/comedy did indeed pick up a Best Picture nomination. Ryan Gosling's Kenergy also secured the Blade Runner 2049 star a Best Supporting Actor nom, with America Ferrera landing a Best Supporting Actress nod.

Gerwig and Margot Robbie were not nominated in their respective categories, however.

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer was also nominated for Best Picture, reigniting last year's Barbenheimer battle. Nolan picked up his second Best Director nom, while Cillian Murphy was nominated for Actor in a Leading Role.

The sci-fi genre was represented with several major nominations for Poor Things: Yorgos Lanthimos for Best Director, Emma Stone for Best Actress, Mark Ruffalo for Best Supporting Actor, and the movie also secured a nom for Best Picture.

Elsewhere, both Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Netflix's Nimona were nominated for Best Animated Feature, but there was nothing for TMNT: Mutant Mayhem.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Godzilla Minus One were nominated for Best Visual Effects.

Man, I can't lie, as hot as Emma Stone is and despite the major explosions that came from seeing her getting railed, it's just so dumb that we're celebrating and possibly crowning a film about whoredom as a "best picture."
