Cillian Murphy

The Oscar nominations revealed today held few surprises. As expected "Oppenheimer" and "Barbie" were nominated for Best Picture. For others, it might be disappointing that Greta Gerwig is not among the nominated directors.

"Poor Things" by Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos will compete with "Oppenheimer," "Barbie" and other films for best picture at this year's Academy Awards.

Other best picture nominees announced for the 96th Oscars included "Killers of the Flower Moon," "The Holdovers," "Maestro" and "American Fiction."

The nominations for this year's Oscars will be announced on Tuesday, January 23. The list of nominees is expected to include films such as "Oppenheimer" and "Barbie." With a total revenue of about 2 billion dollars, they are likely to be contenders for several statuettes, including the "Oscar" for Best Picture.

"Oppenheimer," Christopher Nolan's drama about the inventor of the atomic bomb, topped the Golden Globes on Sunday.

"Oppenheimer" took five prizes including best drama, best director for Nolan, best score, as well as acting wins for Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr.

"Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" - the unlikely pair of films that dominated the box office and spawned countless internet memes this summer - topped the newly revamped Golden Globes nominations on Dec. 11.

Actress Florence Pugh has revealed that director Christopher Nolan was very apologetic about her role in his latest film, "Oppenheimer."

Pugh, 27, stars as psychiatrist and physician Jean Tatlock in the film about the life of the "father of the atomic bomb," J. Robert Oppenheimer, starring Cillian Murphy in the lead role.

In line with the global trend, Mattel's comedy about toys - "Barbie" with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in the lead roles, turned out to be the most watched film in Bulgaria as well, according to aggregated data from movie theaters. 38,107 viewers have seen the film, which is mostly pink in color, and the revenue from their tickets for the first weekend in the country is 452,186 leva.

The story of the invention of the atomic bomb told in the new film "Oppenheimer" is a "warning" to the world as we grapple with artificial intelligence, insists the movie's director Christopher Nolan.

Leaders of Hollywood's actors' union voted Thursday to join screenwriters in the first joint strike in more than six decades, shutting down production across the entertainment industry after talks for a new contract with studios and streaming services broke down.
