Joker‘s had a solid awards season run, but not many were expecting the comic book-inspired film to top the list of the 92nd Annual Oscars. Joker picked up 11 nominations with Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, 1917, and Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood tieing for second place with 10.
Best Picture nominees Jojo Rabbit, Little Women, Marriage Story, and Parasite each earned six nominations.
Winners will be announced during the 2020 Oscars to be held on February 9th at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. Once again the Oscar producers have opted to go host-less. ABC will televise the ceremony beginning at 8pm ET/5pm PT.
In addition to releasing the list of nominees, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences provided key facts about this year’s nominees:
- 62 women were nominated, almost one-third of this year’s nominees.
- Parasite is the eleventh non-English language film nominated for Best Picture and the sixth to be nominated for both International Feature Film (formerly Foreign Language Film) and Best Picture in the same year. Each of the previous five (Z, 1969; Life Is Beautiful, 1998; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, 2000; Amour, 2012; Roma, 2018) won for Foreign Language Film but not Best Picture.
- With his ninth Directing nomination, Martin Scorsese is the most-nominated living director. Only William Wyler has more nominations in the category, with a total of 12.
- In the acting categories, five individuals are first-time nominees (Antonio Banderas, Cynthia Erivo, Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, Jonathan Pryce). Eight of the nominees are previous acting winners (Kathy Bates, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Anthony Hopkins, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, Charlize Theron, Renée Zellweger). Adam Driver is the only nominee who was also nominated for acting last year.
- Saoirse Ronan is the second youngest four-time acting nominee at age 25. Jennifer Lawrence is the youngest.
- Cynthia Erivo is the third person to receive acting and song nominations for the same film. Mary J. Blige was the first, with her nominations for Mudbound in 2017, followed by Lady Gaga with her nominations for A Star Is Born last year. Barbra Streisand was the first person to receive nominations in both categories but for different films.
- Composer Hildur Guðnadóttir is the ninth woman nominated in the music scoring categories.
- John Williams continues to add to his record number of music scoring nominations with his 47th. His overall total of 52 nominations (including five for Original Song) is the most for any living person, and second only to Walt Disney at 59.
- Randy Newman’s ninth nomination for Original Score and thirteenth nomination for Original Song, and Thomas Newman’s fifteenth nomination for Original Score, bring the total for members of the Newman family (Alfred, Lionel, Emil, Thomas, David, and Randy) to 93, more than any other family.
- Little Women is the fourth film version of the Louisa May Alcott novel to receive Academy Award nominations, for a total of 14 nominations.
