Oppenheimer has led the Oscar nomination list with 13, while Barbie has eight, although its leading actress Margot Robbie has missed out.

Oppenheimer, which is about the US development of the atom bomb in the Second World War, was nominated for Best Picture, along with a Best Actor nod for Cillian Murphy.

Other nominations included Christopher Nolan for Best Director, Robert Downey, Jr. for Best Supporting Actor, and Emily Blunt for Best Supporting Actress.

Box office rival Barbie got eight nominations, including Best Picture and Best Original Song. But lead actress Robbie was denied a nomination, to the surprise of some onlookers. Greta Gerwig was also overlooked in the directing nominations.

Elsewhere, Martin Scorsese received his tenth nomination for Best Director for Killers of the Flower Moon.
