Lee’s agency C-JeS Studio confirmed the break up, saying he wanted to “focus on his filming projects”. They added that the duo would “continue to support each other as colleagues”.The couple rocked the K-pop world when they went public with their relationship in February, with some fans accusing her of “betrayal”.Other fans had also criticised her for being an irresponsible frontwoman of her four-woman group, aespa. This prompted her to issue a grovelling apology on Instagram, where she vowed “to heal the wounds” she had inflicted. “I apologise for surprising you greatly,” wrote the singer, whose real name is Yu Ji-min. She pledged to show fans a “more mature and hardworking side” in future.Some fans drove a “protest truck” to her management agency when the news broke. “Is the love given to you by your fans not enough?” blared an electronic billboard on the vehicle.How jealous K-pop super fans try to dictate their idols’ private livesK-pop star apologises after relationship goes publicaespa, which debuted in 2020 with the single Black Mamba, is expected to release a new full-length album this quarter. Lee, 25, gained prominence after starring in the hit fantasy period drama Alchemy of Souls. He also stars in the Disney+ original series Royal Roader which was released in February.Karina’s apology and now, breakup, offer a glimpse into the world of South Korea entertainment’s “super fans”, who are increasingly trying to dictate their idols’ private lives.Theirs is not an isolated incident.Days before, South Korean actors Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol had also announced that they have separated – just two weeks after publicly acknowledging their relationship. The couple parted ways following a backlash from fans, who accused them of being in a “transit relationship”, noting that Ryu had recently ended a seven-year romance with his Reply 1988 co-star singer-actress Lee Hyeri.Han, who most recently starred in the Netflix period thriller Gyeongseong Creature, took to Instagram last Friday with a lengthy and emotional message disputing the allegations. “Any more of these groundless speculations and it will really wear me out,” she wrote in the post, which has since been deleted.After the split, Han’s agency 9ATO Entertainment said: “The two both found their roles as actors to be more important. They promised to no longer be emotionally exhausted with their personal life.”Last October, Blackpink singer Jisoo and actor Ahn Bo-hyun ended their relationship just two months after they said they were dating.Related TopicsAsiaK-popSouth KoreaTop StoriesLive.

Here are some of the best moments from the biggest night in Hollywood. It was Kenough We all knew it was coming but Ryan Gosling’s full-throated rendition of the Barbie movie’s hit I’m Just Ken was even better than we could have hoped for.He started out the Oscar-nominated original song sitting just behind Barbie co-star Margot Robbie, who could not seem to control her laughter as Gosling crooned into her ear.Carrying on in his all-pink tuxedo, Gosling made his way to the stage where he danced a choreographed routine with a dozen accompanying cowboy-hat-wearing Kens transforming the sometimes stuffy evening into a rousing concert. And, if that wasn’t enough, Slash appeared to lend his talents for a guitar solo. There were even suggestions the choreography was a homage to Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend.The Kenergy was infectious – Gosling solicited energetic singalongs from the star-studded front row, including best actress winner Emma Stone and Barbie’s director, Greta Gerwig. Stone even had a wardrobe malfunction due to all the excitement – as she walked up to the stage to collect her best actress nomination, she was struggling with the back of her dress.Appearing backstage, she said: “They sewed me back in! I genuinely think I busted it during I’m Just Ken. I was so amazed by Ryan and that number just blew my mind. I was just going for it and things just happen!”Kimmel – tried and testedJimmy Kimmel returned to the Dolby Theatre for his fourth turn as Oscars’ host.He’s had some practice and it showed. Kimmel nodded to the months-long strikes that brought Hollywood (nearly) to a halt in his tone-setting monologue, celebrating the actors and writers who had pushed for a deal.”As a result, actors no longer have to worry about getting replaced by AI,” he said. “Thanks to this historic agreement, actors are now able to go back to worrying about being replaced by younger, more attractive people.”Fallon also got into a spat with Donald Trump that went viral. In response to the former US President posting on Truth Social: “Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel?”, the comic quipped back on stage: “Isn’t it past your jail time?”But not all his jokes landed. A jab at Robert Downey Jr and his history of substance abuse drew some blank stares from the crowd, and a “wrap it up” from Downey Jr himself. Downey Jr was the only winner who didn’t come to the winners’ room to speak to the press later. Although he skipped it at the Baftas too. Maybe he’s just too cool for skool.Israel-Gaza war remains ever-presentThe streets of Hollywood were flooded with demonstrators protesting Israel’s war in Gaza, snarling traffic and slowing the arrival of several stars. Protesters chanting “ceasefire now” walked down Sunset Boulevard to the sound of honking horns, while Los Angeles police stood by in riot gear. Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Siblings and Oscar winners Finneas O’Connell and Billie Eilish wore red pins in support of a ceasefire in GazaThere were reminders of the conflict inside the ceremony too, with several big-name stars including Billie Eilish, Mark Ruffalo and Ramy Youssef sporting red pins in support of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. And the war was noted from the Oscars stage itself, as the British director Jonathan Glazer accepted the best international film statue for his film The Zone of Interest, which follows the domestic life of a Nazi officer and his family. Glazer, who is Jewish, said he rejected his “Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people”.”Whether the victims of October 7th in Israel, or the ongoing attack on Gaza, all the victims of this dehumanisation, how do we resist?”Da’Vine Joy Randolph moves us to tearsImage source, Getty ImagesImage caption, The first winner of the night, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, told the audience: “Thank you for seeing me”The Oscars made lots of super-fans happy this year by returning to an old presenting format, with past winners announcing the nominees for the four acting categories. The personal tributes gave us some nice moments of real emotion from the stars.This was especially true for Da’Vine Joy Randolph who was moved to tears by a heart-felt introduction from Lupita Nyong’o.Randolph had us crying ourselves moments later when she accepted the trophy for best supporting actress – her first win after her first nomination. “I didn’t think I was supposed to do this as a career,” she said in her speech. “For so long, I’ve always wanted to be different, and now I realise I just need to be myself. And I thank you. I thank you for seeing me.”Backstage, she spoke about encouraging creatives from under-represented backgrounds to keep going: “The beautiful thing that erupts is your imagination and creativity because you don’t have much…. Something I think as black people, we are very good at, is making a lot out of very little. It’s our superpower.”A Hollywood streaker?Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, John Cena (nearly) bared it all this yearThe award for costume design won’t be easily forgotten this year, thanks to the presentation by John Cena. Prompted by Kimmel, Cena – a wrestler and actor – appeared on stage entirely naked, save for a pair of Birkenstocks and a strategically placed envelope carrying the name of the winner. Cena shuffled on stage to the sound of roaring laughter, before a quick exchange with Kimmel – one of the better sketches of the evening. “The male body is not supposed to be funny,” Cena said. “Mine is,” Kimmel replied. Al Pacino and an awkward announcementIt wasn’t the only moment of the night that had people sitting up in their chairs. Al Pacino nearly gave us a panic attack right at the end of the ceremony. We still haven’t recovered from the Moonlight/La La Land mix-up back in 2017. So when Pacino hesitated before announcing Oppenheimer as the best picture winner – and then uttered his announcement so casually – there was a sharp intake of breath in the auditorium. Thankfully, no-one rushed on to the stage to correct him. Phew.Best supporting dogImage source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Messi the dog put his paws togetherThe best picture-nominated Anatomy of a Fall boasted a four-legged break-out star: Messi, the black-and-white border collie who plays Snoop the dog in the French courtroom drama. Following days of speculation over whether he would show, Mess appeared at the ceremony, sitting in a plush red seat with a black bow-tie around his neck. Messi even got some screen time later in the evening. The camera panned to him to show his paws up in applause for Robert Downey Jr’s best supporting actor win. Gosling also looked delighted to see Messi again, having previously made his acquaintance at the Oscars Luncheon last month.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, based in Los Angeles, annually nominate and vote across more than 20 categories including best picture, best actor and best actress. While film awards ceremonies including the Golden Globes and the Baftas attract plenty of attention, the Oscars is the pinnacle of achievement in the awards season calendar. The awards are voted for by Academy members.Which films are in the running?Image source, Melinda Sue Gordon/Universal PicturesImage caption, Cillian Murphy plays theoretical quantum physicist Robert OppenheimerChristopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, about the life of the man who helped develop the atomic bomb, is leading the charge with 13 nominations including best picture, best actor (Cillian Murphy) and best supporting actress (Emily Blunt).Titanic, Ben Hur and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King jointly hold the record for the most wins with 11, so could Oppenheimer match it or even do better?17 facts you need to know about this year’s OscarsHow to watch this year’s awards films10 things we spotted in the Oscars class photoLily Gladstone: The actress who could make Oscars historyBarbenheimer was wonderful for cinema, Murphy saysOscars 2024: List of nominations in fullCan anything stop Oppenheimer’s march to the Oscars?Its British-born filmmaker Nolan is the hot favourite to pick up best director. While his films have collected Oscars previously, the man behind movies including Interstellar, Inception and The Dark Knight Rises has never won this prestigious category. In fact, despite his pedigree, he’s only been nominated for best director once previously (Dunkirk in 2018). This is surely his year.Four out of five nominated directors this year are European (Nolan has dual US/British citizenship but he was born and grew up here so we’re claiming him).If, as widely expected, Oppenheimer’s Robert Downey Jr picks up the award for best supporting actor, it will also be a first Oscar win for him.Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Gladstone won best actress at the SAG awards in FebruaryChasing down Oppenheimer with 11 nods is Yorgos Lanthimos’s brilliantly bizarre Poor Things. Its star, Emma Stone, is a frontrunner in the best actress race alongside Lily Gladstone from Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. If Gladstone triumphs – and it’s hard to call at this point – she will be the first Native American to win the award.Killers of the Flower Moon, about the murder of members of the Osage Indian tribe by white settlers who are after their oil, scored 10 nominations in total.Scorsese has now been nominated for a best director Oscar 10 times, which makes him the most nominated living director in Academy Awards history. He’s also the oldest best director nominee at 81.His long-time collaborator Thelma Schoonmaker is the most nominated editor in history with nine nods, and this could be a record-breaking fourth win for her (she currently holds the joint record with three wins).Image source, Studio CanalImage caption, Greta Lee’s Nora and Teo Yoo’s Hae Sung reunite years after Nora’s family emigrated to Canada from South KoreaUnless you’ve been hiding under a rock since Christmas (and we’ve all felt like doing it in this weather), Barbie director Greta Gerwig and the film’s star, Margot Robbie, missed out on individual nominations when they were announced in January. Barbie did land eight nods in total though, with America Ferrara and Ryan Gosling recognised in the best supporting actress and supporting actor categories respectively. But it’s still not Kenough for some.All the films above are up for the coveted best picture prize, and are joined by French courtroom drama Anatomy of a Fall, romantic drama Past Lives, Leonard Bernstein biopic Maestro, incisive satire American Fiction, warm comedy tale The Holdovers and chilling Nazi drama The Zone of Interest.What else is there to look out for?Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Da’Vine Joy Randolph celebrated her recent Bafta win with Holdovers co-star Paul GiamattiThe Barbenheimer juggernaut that sparked a thousand memes has done the Oscars no harm this year; the commercial success of these two films which have put bums on seats and also won over the critics, may bring new audiences to this year’s event.While some categories appear to have it all wrapped up – The Holdovers’ Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Oppenheimer’s Robert Downey Jr have picked up pretty much every film prize going in the run-up to the Oscars – there could still be some surprises in store.The race for best actress between Stone and Gladstone is too close to call, but could Gladstone’s recent Screen Actors Guild (SAG) win get her over the line? That’s what happened with Michelle Yeoh last year. However, Stone has the showier role as Poor Things’ charming protagonist Bella Baxter, while Gladstone’s dignified and resilient Molly Kyle in Flower Moon is a more understated part that enjoys considerably less screen time. It’s an intriguing contest.Best actor is also up in the air with Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers) and Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) in a two-horse race, although Murphy seems to have his nose in front following recent wins at Bafta and SAG. If he wins, he will be the first Irish-born actor to triumph, although Daniel Day-Lewis, who holds both British and Irish citizenship, has won three best actor Oscars previously.Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Colman Domingo also stars in The Color Purple, which got one nomination for Danielle Brooks (best supporting actress)In best picture, could The Holdovers pull an Argo, winning best picture for a film in which the director (Alexander Payne) isn’t nominated for best director? It will take some doing to overhaul the Oppenheimer steamroller, but stranger things have happened.Slightly in the realms of fantasy now, but if Rustin’s Colman Domingo also pulls off a big shock by winning the Oscar for best actor for playing gay Civil Rights activist Bayard Rustin, he will be the first Afro-Latino actor to win the prize. And there are people of colour in every acting category.Jodie Foster was nominated for best supporting actress for her portrayal of the gay swimming coach Bonnie Stoll in Nyad. It’s the first time two gay actors have been nominated for playing two gay characters in the same year.There’s progress elsewhere, too. But it’s slow progress. Anatomy of a Fall’s Justine Triet is only the eighth woman to be nominated for best director (the Oscars director branch is made of up 75% men). However a record three films directed by women – Triet, Gerwig and Celine Song (Past Lives) – are up for best picture (out of a possible 10).Other categories are also worth paying attention to – the short film and short animation categories are buckling under the strain of stardust this year. Both shortlists are worth checking out in their own right but some names you might recognise include Wes Anderson, who has directed The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, a Roald Dahl adaptation starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Ralph Fiennes and Dev Patel.Meanwhile, David Olewoyo stars in Misan Harriman’s The After, which tackles grief.And Robbie Robertson could pick up a posthumous Oscar for best score for Killers of the Flower Moon. He sadly died aged 80 in August last year.Dave Mullins, who worked at Pixar for 20 years, wrote and directed animated short War is Over! Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko. The famous pair’s son, Sean Lennon, is the executive producer.Which stars are attending?Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Emma Stone won the Bafta for best actress recentlyAnyone who is anyone will be there, is the short answer. Most of the nominees will be gracing the red carpet (we think it’s red anyway, last year they switched to a champagne colour but it got dirty very quickly). Presenters include Zendaya, Al Pacino, Lupita Nyong’o, Bad Bunny, Dwayne Johson, Regina King, Matthew McConaughey, Mahershala Ali, Ke Huy Quan, Brendan Fraser and Michelle Pfeiffer.Never mind the A-listers, we’re hoping Messi, the dog from Anatomy of a Fall, makes another star appearance.Who is performing?The best song nominees will all perform, including Barbie’s Ryan Gosling and Mark Ronson with I’m Just Ken. Gosling gave a hilarious reaction to the song’s win at the Critics’ Choice Awards earlier this year – bemused and almost suspicious. Billie Eilish will also sing her Barbie track, the favourite to win, What Was I Made For? Who is this year’s host?US late night presenter Jimmy Kimmel returns to hosting duties this year – it will be his fourth time, including his stint at the helm last year, which marked a smooth return after the chaos of 2022’s ceremony when Will Smith slapped one of the awards presenters, Chris Rock.Kimmel joked when his return was announced: “I always dreamed of hosting the Oscars exactly four times.” We bet it’s not his last, though.How can I watch the Oscars?Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, The Oscars is now free-to-air in the UKThe 2024 Oscars will air live on Sunday 10 March from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, where the ceremony has been held since 2002.The show can be watched in the US on ABC and on various streaming services. It’s also broadcast around the world in more than 200 territories. In the UK, you might actually be able to stay awake to watch this year. The awards start an hour earlier and the clocks in Los Angeles – PST – go forward an hour on Oscars Sunday. The show starts at 16:00 (PT), 19:00 (ET) and midnight (GMT). UK viewers can watch on ITV and ITVX from 22:30.British and international buzzImage source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr, Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt and Christopher Nolan have been doing the awards circuitAs well as Nolan, other Brits in the running include Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer), Carey Mulligan (Maestro), Jonathan Glazer (director, The Zone of Interest), Jacqueline Durran (costume design, Barbie) and Holly Waddington (costume design, Poor Things).And what about this for an effort? Special effects whizz Neil Corbould (who already has two Oscars under his belt) is up for three this year in the visual effects category for The Creator, Napoleon and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.Meanwhile, if Sandra Huller picks up best actress (Anatomy of a Fall) she will be the first German to do so in 60 years.It’s also the first time two international films not in the English language have been nominated for best picture in the same year (Anatomy of a Fall and The Zone of Interest).Read more about some of the films in this year’s Oscars race:Poor Things: Emma Stone: Sex scenes in Poor Things are ‘honest’The Holdovers: Could this film be a new Christmas classic?Barbie: Billie Eilish dedicates award to people strugglingOppenheimer: Cillian Murphy film marches towards Oscars successThe Zone of Interest: Auschwitz film was ‘like Big Brother’ in house next to campAmerican Fiction: White audiences ‘too comfortable with black clichés’Rustin: The gay civil rights activist history forgotThe Color Purple: Stars want to make Oprah proudPast Lives: The film on lost love that crosses continentsKillers of the Flower Moon: Lily Gladstone could make Oscars historySociety of the Snow: Society of the Snow film explores cannibalism and survivalMaestro: Why the Bradley Cooper nose row is complicated20 Days in Mariupol: Award-winning film in town’s ‘Ukrainian Sunday’The Creator: The Creator’s Gareth Edwards on shaking up HollywoodThe After: David Oyelowo: I had to crack open my heart for this roleRelated TopicsThe OscarsFilmMore on this story17 facts you need to know about this year’s OscarsPublished3 days agoHow to watch the films in this year’s awards racePublished1 day agoOscars 2024: List of nominations in fullPublished23 JanuaryTop StoriesBiden and Trump hold competing rallies in GeorgiaPublished55 minutes agoGaza war fuels Jerusalem fears as Ramadan to beginPublished3 hours agoIDF completes road across Gaza, satellite images showPublished2 hours agoFeaturesThe Papers: Gove’s extremism warning and Johnson in trip to VenezuelaApple ‘like Godfather’ with new App Store rulesThe people keeping the historic foot ferry afloatHow China’s boarding schools are silencing Tibet’s languageWhat a $1 deal says about America’s office marketYour pictures on the theme of ‘speed’Man behind viral fake currency shocked by its successDNA’s discovery changed the world – and my life.

This is also the first year women have directed three best picture nominees.Oppenheimer scored the most nominations overall, followed by Poor Things and Killers of the Flower Moon.There were nods for Barbie’s star and director elsewhere – Robbie was recognised as a producer in the best picture line-up, while Gerwig was nominated for best adapted screenplay.Barbie’s best picture nod also means Gerwig is the first woman to direct three films which have been nominated for the top prize, following Lady Bird and Little Women.However, as Barbie was the highest-grossing film of 2023, taking $1.44bn (£1.14bn) worldwide, many expected Gerwig and Robbie to show up in the best director and best actress categories.Image source, ReutersImage caption, Barbie’s America Ferrera, who was seen as an outside bet, scored a nomination for best supporting actressWhile Robbie missed out on a best actress nod, her co-star America Ferrera scored a surprise supporting actress nomination.Fellow Barbie star Ryan Gosling was nominated for best supporting actor, while a track he performs in the film, I’m Just Ken, was nominated for best original song.It will face competition from another song from the same film – What Was I Made For? by Billie Eilish. Barbie’s other nominations are for production design and costume design.But it was Oppenheimer that led the field with 13 nominations. Christopher Nolan’s three-hour epic about theoretical physicist J Robert Oppenheimer was both acclaimed by critics and a huge success at the box office.Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr were nominated for acting prizes, and Nolan for best director.Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Oppenheimer’s Emily Blunt, Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr were all nominated for acting prizesPoor Things, about an infant whose brain has been transplanted into the body of a grown woman, was the second most nominated film, with 11 nods.The film’s star, Emma Stone, said the nominations felt like a “surreal dream”, adding she was “beyond grateful” to the Academy.Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, about the murder of members of the Osage Indian tribe by white settlers who are after their oil, scored 10 nominations.

I am overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude. And for my first film… crazy.”In a video posted on social media, Triet was seen celebrating and becoming emotional as she found out about her nominations.The nominations also saw Killers of the Flower Moon star Lily Gladstone become the first ever Native American actress to be recognised, while Jodie Foster received her first nomination in nearly three decades for Nyad.Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Following two Golden Globe wins, Anatomy of a Fall scored five Oscar nominations (director Justine Triet pictured)Her co-star Robert De Niro broke the record of longest time between first and most recent Oscar nominations – 49 years – overtaking Katharine Hepburn’s previous record of 48. A best international feature nomination for The Zone of Interest, which follows a German family who live next to the Auschwitz Nazi death camp, marks the UK’s first appearance in the category in 24 years.Half of this year’s acting nominees are nominated for the first time. Scorsese secured his 10th nod for Killers of the Flower Moon, a record for a living director. But he has only won the award once, for 2007’s The Departed.Meanwhile, 91-year-old composer John Williams achieved his 54th nomination for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. He is the second most-nominated person in Oscar history after Walt Disney, but has said the film will be his last major work.Snubs and surprisesImage source, EPAImage caption, Lily Gladstone became the first Native American actress to be nominated, but co-star Leonardo DiCaprio missed outIn the leading actress category, there was recognition for Nyad star Annette Bening – whose nomination had been seen as an outside bet. America Ferrera’s surprise supporting actress nomination for Barbie suggests her monologue in the film about what it means to be a woman clearly connected with Academy voters.But May December struggled – receiving one nomination for original screenplay but missing out on acting nominations for its stars Julianne Moore, Charles Melton and Natalie Portman.And there were no nominations whatsoever for All of Us Strangers or Saltburn, despite their strong performance at the Bafta nominations last week.Far less surprising, but still notable, were Leonardo DiCaprio’s absence from best actor for his role in Killers of the Flower Moon, and Poor Things star Willem DaFoe’s miss in best supporting actor.Read more about the films in this year’s awards race:Poor Things: Emma Stone: Sex scenes in Poor Things are ‘honest’All of Us Strangers: Andrew Scott film an ‘unforgettable’ look at traumaThe Holdovers: The Holdovers: Could it be a new Christmas classic?Barbie: Billie Eilish dedicates award to people strugglingOppenheimer: Cillian Murphy film marches towards Oscars successAmerican Fiction: White audiences ‘too comfortable with black clichés’Rustin: The gay civil rights activist history forgotThe Color Purple: Stars want to make Oprah proudNyad: Netflix film follows woman who braved sharks and jellyfishPast Lives: The film on lost love that crosses continentsKillers of the Flower Moon: The Osage murders nearly erased from US historyMay December: Film explores ‘disquieting moral ambiguity’Society of the Snow: Society of the Snow film explores cannibalism and survivalMaestro: Why the Bradley Cooper nose row is complicatedPriscilla: Sofia Coppola on filming Priscilla in 30 days on tight budgetSaltburn: Director discusses ‘revolting’ bathtub sceneThe After: David Oyelowo – I had to crack open my heart for this roleRelated TopicsThe OscarsMore on this storyOscars 2024: List of nominations in fullPublished5 hours agoOppenheimer eclipses Barbie in Bafta nominationsPublished5 days agoOppenheimer and Succession sweep Golden GlobesPublished8 JanuaryHow to watch this year’s Oscar-nominated filmsPublished5 days agoCan anything stop Oppenheimer’s march to the Oscars?Published14 JanuaryView commentsTop Stories’Hero’ student died trying to save friend in Nottingham attackPublished51 minutes agoUK not seeking confrontation with Houthis – SunakPublished49 minutes agoFour family members found dead at Norwich house are namedPublished20 minutes agoFeaturesUS man to be executed by untested nitrogen gas tells of ‘panic’Bills and border crisis drive Trump voters to pollsMysterious killings in Yemen create climate of fearOscars 2024: List of nominations in fullUK weather: Why has it been so stormy this year?Watch shocking moment car crashes into café in Italy.

The Barbenheimer phenomenon, a viral trend which saw thousands of fans book tickets to see both films on the same day last summer, makes this year’s Oscars far more accessible than usual.While several Academy Awards ceremonies in recent years have recognised films which had little breakthrough with the general public, producers will be hoping Barbie and Oppenheimer’s likely inclusion will result in a surge in interest and viewing figures.Which films are competing for best picture?Image source, PA MediaImage caption, Oppenheimer, starring Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy, is likely to pick up the most nominationsAfter a rule change a few years ago intended to widen the field, the best picture category now has a guaranteed 10 slots available. There is general consensus that Oppenheimer, Barbie, Poor Things, Killers of the Flower Moon and The Holdovers will all score nominations.Anatomy of a Fall, Maestro, The Zone of Interest, Past Lives and American Fiction are also seen as hot favourites and very likely to compete for the Academy’s most prestigious prize.But there are plenty of other contenders which could easily spring nominations in the top category, such as The Color Purple, Society of the Snow, All of Us Strangers and May December.In recent days, there has also been a last-minute campaign – similar to the one that netted Andrea Riseborough a surprise acting nomination last year – for Origin to be recognised at the Oscars, after it missed out at a string of precursor ceremonies.Who’s in the acting race?Image source, ReutersImage caption, Maestro stars Carey Mulligan and Bradley Cooper are likely to secure lead actress and actor nominationsAfter a slightly weaker field in 2023, this year’s best actor category is extremely crowded and competitive. The frontrunner is Paul Giamatti for The Holdovers, a film which sees him play a grumpy teacher who must stay in school over Christmas to supervise the pupils who aren’t going home for the holidays.Cillian Murphy is also in the race for his portrayal of theoretical physicist J Robert Oppenheimer, while Bradley Cooper could be recognised for his performance as composer Leonard Bernstein in Maestro.Meanwhile, Rustin’s Colman Domingo is a strong contender for his depiction of civil rights activist Bayard Rustin, and Jeffrey Wright could be recognised for his role as a frustrated author in American Fiction.Other possible but slightly less likely contenders include Killers of the Flower Moon star Leonardo DiCaprio, The Iron Claw’s Zac Efron, Saltburn’s Barry Keoghan and Andrew Scott for All of Us Strangers.Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Killers of the Flower Moon’s Lily Gladstone (pictured with co-star Leonardo DiCaprio) is a dead-cert for a best actress nodThe best actress category is just as busy. Lily Gladstone will likely be recognised for her role in Killers of the Flower Moon as an Osage woman living in 1920s Oklahoma who must deal with efforts by white settlers to take advantage of their land for oil.Poor Things star Emma Stone will almost certainly be nominated for her performance as an infant whose brain has been transplanted into the body of a grown woman, who then goes on an adventure across the world.Sandra Hüller could be recognised for playing a mother accused of murdering her husband in Anatomy of a Fall, while Maestro’s Carey Mulligan is likely to be one of the few British nominees for her portrayal of Leonard Bernstein’s wife Felicia Montealegre.The Academy may well include Margot Robbie for Barbie, the monster box office hit which she also produced, Past Lives star Greta Lee for her role as a woman who reconnects with her childhood sweetheart, or Nyad’s Annette Bening for her portrayal of record-breaking swimmer Diana Nyad.There’s also still a chance that The Color Purple star Fantasia Barrino could make it in, as could Cailee Spaeny for her portrayal of Priscilla Presley.What about the supporting categories?Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Da’Vine Joy Randolph has dominated the precursors including the Golden Globes and Critics Choice AwardsThe Holdovers star Da’Vine Joy Randolph is the safest bet of all the acting categories – she has dominated at all the precursor ceremonies and is very likely to win best supporting actress at the Oscars. She could be joined in the category by The Color Purple star Danielle Brooks, Oppenheimer’s Emily Blunt, Nyad’s Jodie Foster and Ferrari’s Penélope Cruz. Other possible nominees include Julianne Moore of May December, Saltburn’s Rosamund Pike and Barbie’s America Ferrera.The supporting actor race will almost certainly be led by Oppenheimer’s Robert Downey Jr. But there is competition from Barbie’s Ryan Gosling, American Fiction’s Sterling K Brown and May December’s Charles Melton.Meanwhile, two actors from Poor Things – Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe – could be recognised, and it’s never a good idea to bet against Robert De Niro, who appeared in Killers of the Flower Moon.What about the directors?Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Anatomy of a Fall director Justine Triet pictured with her Golden Globes for best foreign language film and best screenplaySeveral Oscars stalwarts released films this year and will almost certainly show up in this category – such as Martin Scorsese for Killers of the Flower Moon, and Christopher Nolan (Oppenheimer).There could also well be recognition for Greta Gerwig for Barbie, Jonathan Glazer for The Zone of Interest and Yorgos Lanthimos for Poor Things.Otherwise, spots could go to Justine Triet for Anatomy of a Fall, Alexander Payne for The Holdovers, Bradley Cooper for Maestro and potentially even Celine Song for her accomplished directorial debut Past Lives. Two of the last three winners of best director have been women – although last year it was an entirely male set of nominees.Why is best original song so crowded?Image source, ReutersImage caption, Billie Elish and Finneas could repeat their Golden Globe win at the OscarsIn a word, Barbie. The film’s soundtrack was almost as ubiquitous last summer as the movie itself.Three different songs from the film are in contention for the musical prize this year – Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For?, Dua Lipa’s Dance the Night and I’m Just Ken performed by actor Ryan Gosling.However, according to Oscar rules, only two songs from the same film can be nominated – so at least one of the above will miss out.The remaining slots could be taken by the likes of Lenny Kravitz’s Road to Freedom from Rustin and It Never Went Away from American Symphony, written by Jon Batiste and Dan Wilson of British rock group Semisonic.But don’t bet against competition from songs lifted from the soundtracks of The Color Purple, Flora and Son, Flamin’ Hot and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes – which could see Olivia Rodrigo nominated for Can’t Catch Me Now.How to watch the Oscar nominationsImage source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Fantasia Barrino and Danielle Brooks star in The Color Purple and both received Bafta nominations last weekYou can watch the Oscar nominations being announced live on the Academy’s official website and YouTube account – and streamed in the UK on ITVX.The nominations for all categories will be read out by actors Zazie Beetz and Jack Quaid from 13:30 GMT.The ceremony will take place on 10 March and be broadcast in the UK on ITV.Read more about the likely nominees:Poor Things: Emma Stone: Sex scenes in Poor Things are ‘honest’All of Us Strangers: Andrew Scott film explores trauma and lossThe Holdovers: The Holdovers: Could it be a new Christmas classic?Barbie: Billie Eilish dedicates award to people strugglingOppenheimer: Cillian Murphy film marches towards Oscars successAmerican Fiction: White audiences ‘too comfortable with black clichés’Rustin: The gay civil rights activist history forgotThe Color Purple: Stars want to make Oprah proudNyad: Netflix film follows woman who braved sharks and jellyfishPast Lives: The film on lost love that crosses continentsSaltburn: Director discusses ‘revolting’ bathtub scenePriscilla: Sofia Coppola on filming Priscilla in 30 days on tight budgetKillers of the Flower Moon: The Osage murders nearly erased from US historyMay December: Film explores ‘disquieting moral ambiguity’Society of the Snow: Society of the Snow film explores cannibalism and survivalMaestro: Why the Bradley Cooper nose row is complicatedRelated TopicsThe OscarsFilmMore on this storyOppenheimer eclipses Barbie in Bafta nominationsPublished4 days agoOppenheimer and Succession sweep Golden GlobesPublished8 JanuaryHow to watch this year’s awards-tipped filmsPublished4 days agoCan anything stop Oppenheimer’s march to the Oscars?Published14 JanuaryTop StoriesUS and UK launch fresh strikes on HouthisPublished2 hours ago UK officials probe Iran generals’ antisemitic talks to studentsPublished4 hours agoManhunt as seven found shot dead in Illinois cityPublished49 minutes agoFeaturesNikki Haley finally gets her solo showdown with TrumpThe Papers: ‘Weight-loss horror’ and Elon Musk visits AuschwitzIs North Korea’s leader actually considering war?Where have all the UK tech ‘unicorns’ gone?No bail, no trial: Freedom on hold for Indian activist’I slept under airport chairs after Bristol flight diverted to Paris’Dramatic videos show Storm Isha damage so far.
