Snubs and Surprises in the 2024 Oscar Nominations

Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig both received both good news and bad news.

Robertson, who died in June at age 80, is the first composer to be nominated in this category posthumously since the legendary Bernard Herrmann was cited in 1976 for both Obsession and Taxi Driver. This is especially surprising because Colman Domingo, who played the largely unsung civil rights activist Bayard Rustin in this film, was nominated for best actor. If not a surprise, it’s certainly a breakthrough: This marks the first time in Oscar history that three films not in English — Anatomy of a Fall, Past Lives and The Zone of Interest – are best picture nominees.
