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.

As mentioned, ‘Oppenheimer’ was given the most nods in 2024. Christopher Nolan was nominated for Best Director and Cillian Murphy as Best Actor for his role as Robert Oppenheimer. Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt were both nominated for their supporting roles. Additional categories it will be competing in include Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, Best Film Editing, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Original Score and Best Sound.

‘Poor Things’ garnered the second-most nominations for the 96th Academy Awards with eleven. Yorgos Lanthimos, like Nolan, will be looking to win his first Oscar for Best Director despite multiple past nominations. Emma Stone is up for Best Actress and Mark Ruffalo for his supporting role. Besides those and Best Picture, ‘Poor Things’ is in the running for Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Production Design and Best Original Score.

Martin Scorsese, now the most nominated living director, will be hoping to win his second Oscar for ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’. With ten nominations in total, it was the third most nominated picture for the 2024 Oscars. Lily Gladstone could win her first golden statuette for her leading role and Robert De Niro has a chance at a third in the Best Actor in a Supporting Role category. ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ will be competing in multiple other categories with the previous two films being nominated for Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score and Best Original Song along with Best Production Design.

The couple got engaged in 2021 and had been dating since 2020. Hamm had previously been in a long-term relationship with Jennifer Westfeldt - their 18-year liaison was one of the longest and steadiest among Hollywood’s glitterati before it came full circle in 2015. “With great sadness, we have decided to separate, after 18 years of love and shared history,” they explained in a joint statement to People magazine in September 2015. “We will continue to be supportive of each other in every way possible moving forward.”

Hamm and Westfeldt were more or less the same age, and according to several sources, she was almost like a mother figure to him, so it came as a surprise to some observers when he was rumoured to have started dating a woman 17 years his junior. The actor is believed to have first met Anna Osceola while they were both filming Person to Person in Season 7 of Mad Men. Anna had a cameo role as a receptionist, Clementine, in the final episode.

For the first couple of years, Jon and Anna tried to keep their relationship private and away from the limelight so what do we know about the new bride? Anna was born on April 8, 1988 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Anna Osceola, from a large family

Her father, Fuad Phillip Alan Osceola, is fully qualified massage therapist with over 30 years of experience in his field while little is known about her mother Lisa. Curiously, the surname Osceola is of native American origin and relates to the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Anna has two elder sisters - Ariel and Alexandra and a brother Sam - who are now Jon’s new in-laws.

Like all of her siblings, Anna went into higher education after high school, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Drama from NYU Tisch School of the Arts on Broadway, New York City.
