Steven Spielberg receives his 12th nomination for Best Picture, a record for an individual producer (since 1951 when producers were first named as nominees). He ties William Wyler, at 13 films each, as the director of the most films nominated for Best Picture. Spielberg’s ninth nomination for Directing ties him with Martin Scorsese for most nominations in the Directing category for a living person (only William Wyler, with 12 Directing nominations, has more).
All Quiet on the Western Front is the eighth non-English language film to be nominated for both International Feature Film and Best Picture in the same year. Each of the previous films (Z, 1969; Life Is Beautiful, 1998; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, 2000; Amour, 2012; Roma, 2018; Parasite, 2019; and Drive My Car, 2021) won for International Feature Film. To date, Parasite is the only film to also win Best Picture.
The Directing nomination for Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert is the fifth time two credited directors have been nominated for the same film. Past nominations were for Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, who won for West Side Story (1961); Warren Beatty and Buck Henry for Heaven Can Wait (1978); Joel and Ethan Coen, who won for No Country for Old Men (2007), and were nominated for True Grit (2010). Sound mixer Andy Nelson has a record 24 nominations in the combined Sound categories. John Williams continues to add to his record number of music-scoring nominations with his 48th. His overall total of 53 nominations (including five for Original Song) is the most for any living person, and second only to Walt Disney at 59. He is also, to the best of our knowledge, the oldest nominee in a competitive award category at 90 years of age (Agnès Varda and James Ivory were each 89 years old when nominated in 2017).
In the acting categories, 16 individuals are first-time nominees (Austin Butler, Hong Chau, Kerry Condon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ana de Armas, Colin Farrell, Brendan Fraser, Brendan Gleeson, Brian Tyree Henry, Stephanie Hsu, Barry Keoghan, Paul Mescal, Bill Nighy, Ke Huy Quan, Andrea Riseborough, Michelle Yeoh). Cate Blanchett is a previous acting winner.
At 87 years old, Judd Hirsch becomes the second oldest acting nominee to date (Christopher Plummer holds the record at 88 years).
Hirsch’s nomination comes 42 years after his first nomination for his supporting role in Ordinary People (1980), surpassing the long-held record of 41 years between acting nominations set by Henry Fonda.
Ryan Coogler nominated this year for Original Song for “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever joins a small group of individuals with nominations in both the Best Picture and Original Song categories (not necessarily from the same film) – Arthur Freed, Quincy Jones, Spike Jonze, James Schamus, Barbra Streisand, Fran Walsh, and Pharrell Williams. To date, only Walsh has won in both categories.
Alfonso Cuarón, nominated this year for the short film Le Pupille, now has nominations in six award categories: Writing, Film Editing, Directing, Best Picture, Cinematography, and Live Action Short Film. With her nomination in the Best Picture category this year, Catherine Martin becomes the seventh woman with nominations in three or more award categories (4 - Chloé Zhao; 3 - Barbra Streisand, Sofia Coppola, Fran Walsh, Emerald Fennell, Jane Campion). She is the first person with nominations in both the Best Picture and Costume Design categories, and the second person with nominations in both the Best Picture and Production Design categories (not necessarily from the same film) after Kristi Zea. Roger Deakins has the most nominations for Cinematography of any living person with 16. Charles B. Lang, Jr. and Leon Shamroy share the all-time record with 18 nominations each. Mandy Walker (Elvis) is the third woman to be nominated in the Cinematography category. Previous nominees are Rachel Morrison (2017) and last year’s Ari Wegner (2021).
