After becoming the highest-grossing A24 project and being named among the ten best films of 2022, the science-fiction adventure that follows Michelle Yeoh’s Evelyn Wang on her journey through a parallel world as she tries to save the multiverse leads the 2023 Oscars nomination list.
With her Best Actress nomination, Yeoh has become the first Asian actress to be nominated in this category.
Other buzz-worthy nominations
In the major acting categories, Austin Butler, Brendan Fraser and Michelle Yeoh arrive as strong front-runners.
Brendan Fraser received his first-ever Oscar nomination, in the best actor category for The Whale.
Steven Spielberg remains the early favourite for his very personal drama, The Fabelmans. The autobiographical coming-of-age tale landed Spielberg his 20th Oscar nomination and eighth nod for best director.
Leading the sequel surge are Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water.

The 2023 Oscars ceremony will be held on 12 March, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
