Here they are!  The 2024 Oscar nominations!

There’s a few surprises, like I’m Still Here getting nominated for Best Picture.  I will say that if Kamala Harris had won in November, Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong would not have been nominated for The Apprentice.  The same impulse that causes the Academy to honor the films of Adam McKay is responsible for the nominations of Stan and Strong.  Pamela Anderson getting a nomination for The Last Showgirl would have made for a great story but it didn’t happen.

After all the hype, the actual announcement of the nominations is always a bit of a let down.
