Steven Spielberg's The Fabelman
had a hard time catching on with audiences, but the director's autobiographical coming-of-age story will earn Spielberg his 20th Oscar nomination and eighth for Best Director.
John Williams, his lifelong songwriter, has extended his record for Oscar nominations for a living person.
With another Best Score nomination, Williams would earn his 53rd nomination, trailing only Walt Disney's 59.
According to Nielsen, last year's gala attracted 15.4 million viewers, 56% more than the 10.5 million for the 2021 broadcast, which set an audience record.
This year, ABC once again casts Jimmy Kimmel as the host for the March 12 ceremony, which is sure to be seen as a return to the smackdown spot.
But there are bigger concerns around the world of cinema.
Last year there were glimpses of a triumphant resurrection for theaters, such as the success of
Top Gun: Maverick
, after two years of a pandemic.
But, due in part to a less steady stream of big releases, ticket sales only recovered about 70% of pre-pandemic business.
Regal Cinemas, the second chain in the country, announced this month the closure of 39 theaters.
At the same time, dark clouds hung over the world of streaming after years of seemingly limitless growth.
Shares tumbled as Wall Street expected streaming services to make a profit, not just add subscribers.
The sector has once again entered an uncertain chapter.
Unlike last year's Oscars, this year there may be no streaming titles vying for the Oscars' most coveted award, though the bottom 10 spots on the shortlist are still up for grabs.
Instead, Netflix's best picks are in other categories, most notably with Guillermo del Toro's favorite animated film
Pinocchio
and Germany's
All Quiet Front.
