The 95th Academy Award nominations are here, and while there aren’t any big surprises, Michelle Yeoh and Everything Everywhere All at Once continued to receive their justly deserved due.
Yeoh was, of course, nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role, while Everything Everywhere All at Once was announced as a potential Best Picture. Everything also picked up nominations for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Score, and more. The equally beloved Ke Huy Quan is in contention for Best Supporting Actor, but the closest thing to a pleasant surprise is that Stephanie Hsu was nominated alongside Jamie Lee Curtis for Best Supporting Actress. Hsu hasn’t racked up much attention for her stellar performance in the movie, so it’s great to see her get recognized.
Much like at the Golden Globes, Angela Bassett was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Queen Ramonda in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the only time a Marvel Studios film has had an actor up for one of the four big acting awards. Bassett actually won the Golden Globe, so there’s a decent chance she’ll be Marvel’s first win in these categories as well.
Finally, RRR’s delightful “Naatu Naatu” was nominated for Best Song, meaning it’ll be performed at the awards ceremony. That, if nothing else, will be a hell of a reason to tune in.
Here’s the full list:
