"Barbenheimer" rocked the box office last summer and now it's taking the Oscars by storm. Both "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" were nominated as best picture, with the latter leading the way with 13 nominations.
In a live telecast from Los Angeles, actors Zazie Beetz ("Atlanta," "Joker") and Jack Quaid ("The Boys," "Oppenheimer") and announced Oscar nominations on Tuesday morning. The nominations were a showcase of a year that was filled with strong movies that blew box office numbers out of the water, after the entertainment industry suffered from COVID-19-related slumps and a historic industry-wide dual labor strike that halted sets and movie promotion. Films like "Killers of Flower Moon" and "Poor Things" snagged numerous nods, rounding out a successful year in cinema.
