Maybe we just need to sort this out with a good old-fashioned beach trip? Barbie vs. Barbie is on the shortlist for best original song at the 2024 Oscars. Dua Lipa's “Dance the Night,” Ryan Gosling's “I'm Just Ken” and Billie Eilish's “What Was I Made For” are all among the potential nominees in this category. And overall, Greta Gerwig's film was at the top with five nominations, including best sound and best film music. But of our Barbenheimer double feature, only Oppenheimer made it into the Best Makeup and Hairstyling category. (It also won awards for Best Score and Best Sound). “Killers of the Flower Moon” also performed strongly and was mentioned in four of the ten shortlist categories announced so far.
Now it's time for voters to do some homework for the holidays – voting for nominations for the 96th Academy Awards begins January 11th and runs through January 16th. The final nominations will be released a week later, while the actual awards will be presented at the earlier-than-usual ceremony on March 10. Below you'll find the shortlist for Best Original Song, as well as other categories including Best Documentary and Short Film, International Feature Film, Live Action and Animated Short Film, Makeup and Hairstyling, Sound, Original Score and Visual Effects.
