The show is planned to broadcast on February 26th hosted by ABC. The widely popular program will be aired nationwide and to a plethora of countries across the globe. Here are the nominations.

Oscars 2023 might witness new rounds of celebrations, accolades, and the usual reminiscence of the Slapgate fiasco.

Quite a few surprises here. First off, how in the world did Tintin get left out of the Animated Feature category? That's just ridiculous. I'd easily put that over Kung Fu Panda and Puss in Boots. Even over Rango (though it could hold its own). The other two I haven't seen, but Tintin should be in there.
Secondly, no Drive? I have yet to see it, but all the buzz it got and seeing how many sites and people named it their movie of the year, yet it gets not even a nomination (except for sound editing - that doesn't count)? Odd.
Also sucks to see Trent Reznor got no love. And obviously this won't be the year DiCaprio finally gets his Oscar. And only 2 nominees for Original Song? That's rather odd too. Not to mention, Shame didn't receive a single nomination (again, it's one I haven't seen but it's received tons of praise that I'd figure at least a nomination somewhere).
Fun little fact: This is the first time since the Animated Feature category began that Pixar has failed to receive an Oscar nomination when they had an eligible film. Granted they didn't get nominations in 2002 or 2005, but that's because they didn't release a movie that year. So, in other words, Cars 2 is the first Pixar movie to not be nominated for Best Animated Feature since the category was introduced.
Well...Drive was mentioned only in the Sound Editing section but nothing else.
I am glad they acknowledged Nick Nolte for his performance in Warrior because it was outstanding...JL is right about the animated section and about the muical score too...that is almost unbelievable.
One of the worst list of nominations ever. I sure hope The Descendants or Tree of Life wins the big ones, but I doubt that. The Artist will probably take 'em all.
Can't believe Gosling, Serkis and Fassbender got robbed of any nominations. Same goes for Albert Brooks.
Hell, I'm just pissed to see tons of BETTER movies getting the shaft. Drive, Warrior, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, 50/50 and even Girl with the Dragon Tattoo are all more worthy than The Help, War Horse and Extremely Loud/Incredibly Close.
Also surprised Tintin didn't get an animation nod. Best of the year by a long mile.
At least Terrence Malick is getting some love. Really glad to see Tree of Life on there.
No Drive for best picture?!?!?
