Academy Award Nominations 2023
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) have announced the nominations for the 96th Academy Awards, honoring the best in film in 2023.
In the Best Original Score category, the nominees are:
- JOSCELIN DENT-POOLEY (JERSKIN FENDRIX) for Poor Things
- LUDWIG GÖRANSSON for Oppenheimer
- LAURA KARPMAN for American Fiction
- ROBBIE ROBERTSON for Killers of the Flower Moon
- JOHN WILLIAMS for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
These are the first Oscar nominations for Dent-Pooley, Karpman, and Robertson; Robertson’s nomination is posthumous, as he died in August 2023, just weeks before Killers of the Flower Moon was released. This is the third Oscar nomination – the second in this category – for Göransson, who previously won for Black Panther in 2018.
Incredibly, this is the 54th Oscar nomination for John Williams, which breaks his own record for being the most nominated living person, and maintains his position as the second most nominated person of all time after Walt Disney (who had 59). He previously won Academy Awards for Fiddler on the Roof in 1971, Jaws in 1975, Star Wars in 1977, E. T. The Extra-Terrestrial in 1982, and Schindler’s List in 1993.
In the Best Original Song category, the nominees are:
- JON BATISTE and DAN WILSON for “It Never Went Away” from American Symphony
- BILLIE EILISH and FINNEAS O’CONNELL for “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie
- SCOTT GEORGE for “Wahzhazhe – A Song for My People” from Killers of the Flower Moon
- MARK RONSON and ANDREW WYATT for “I’m Just Ken” from Barbie
- DIANE WARREN for “The Fire Inside” from Flamin’ Hot
The winners of the 96th Academy Awards will be announced on March 10, 2024.
