The day has finally come for this year's Academy Award nominations ahead of the ceremony in March – and there's no surprise that Oppenheimer leads the way with 13 nominations.

Christopher Nolan's biopic of 'the father of the atomic bomb' had already achieved the most nods when last week's BAFTA Film Awards shortlists were announced, and has now firmly established itself as the film to beat when it comes to picking up the top prize.

But it has plenty of competition from the likes of Martin Scorsese's historical epic Killers of the Flower Moon and Yorgos Lanthimos's fantastical dark comedy Poor Things – both of which also heavily featured in the nominations – while its former box office rival Barbie also managed 8 nods.

Meanwhile, other films to get multiple nominations include the thought-provoking historical horror The Zone of Interest, Leonard Bernstein's biopic Maestro, and crime drama Anatomy of a Fall.

Following a surprise omission at the BAFTAs, Lily Gladstone made the Best Actress shortlist, with other stars hoping to pick up a golden statuette including Emma Stone, Cillian Murphy and Bradley Cooper – although Margot Robbie was surprisingly snubbed for her central role in Barbie. Gladstone makes history as the first actor of Native American descent to be nominated for an Academy Award in acting.

This year's ceremony will take place on Sunday 10th March at its usual home in Hollywood's Dolby Theatre, with comedian Jimmy Kimmel serving as host for the second successive year and his fourth time overall.

The nominations were announced on Tuesday 23rd January by Joker's Zazie Beetz and The Boys star Jack Quaid.
