Ten categories have been have whittled down to finalists for the 95th Oscars. Shortlists were announced in the categories of Documentary Feature Film, Documentary Short Film, International Feature Film, Makeup and Hairstyling, Music (Original Score), Music (Original Song), Animated Short Film, Live Action Short Film, Sound, and Visual Effects.
All Quiet on the Western Front, Germany’s Oscar submission for Best International Feature, made five of the lists, as did Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Following closely with four mentions was Avatar: The Way of Water. There were no major surprises to be found among the lists, though it’s worth noting one hopeful in both the Documentary Feature and Visual Effects race, Good Night Oppy, missed out on both. India’s popular film RRR was not submitted as its International Feature selection, but the film did score a spot on the Song shortlist for its memorable “Naatu Naatu” tune, and the film India chose instead, Last Film Show, found a place among the fifteen International Feature finalists.
