How many nominations does each film have at the 2024 Oscars and which is the most nominated?
Receiving multiple nominations for an Oscar increases a film’s chances of being recognized by the Academy, but it doesn’t always mean it will be.
The most nominations received by a single film sits at fourteen. Three have hit that mark over the years, ‘Oppenheimer’ fell one short in the 2024 Oscars. It was the most nominated picture in 2024 with thirteen including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor in a Leading Role, and both Best Actor and Actress in a Supporting Role.

However, having multiple nominations doesn’t always mean that a film will be guaranteed to take home an Oscar. Such was the case of both ‘The Turning Point’ (1977) and ‘The Color Purple’ (1986) which picked up 11 Academy Award nominations each without winning a single one. They both faced stiff competition and the 96th Academy Awards will be no different.
Nine of the films that have been nominated for Best Picture will be competing across various categories. Six of their directors will be going head-to-head to take home a golden statuette. The lead Actor and Actress from four of them as well as three each in both of the Best Supporting Role categories will be vying for the coveted award.
