The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is planning to bring together all the nominees from this year’s 97th Academy Awards for the customary group photo with the iconic Oscar statuette.
Every year, a commemorative photo is held to honor the accomplishments of the nominees spanning 23 different categories. This event usually takes place at the Oscar Nominees Luncheon. Unfortunately, this year’s luncheon had to be canceled due to the catastrophic wildfires in Los Angeles. During this traditional gathering, each nominee would be called out individually, given their nomination certificates, and posing together for a well-known photo on stage.
To properly honor this year’s nominees for their outstanding achievements, the Academy has arranged a unique event at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, just prior to the Oscars ceremony on March 2. According to exclusive reports by EbMaster, this special occasion will include a collective photo shoot and a series of smaller, private dinners. These category-focused gatherings, which have been a longstanding pre-Oscar custom, offer a more personal setting for celebrating each nominee’s individual successes.
Skipping the traditional name-reading ceremony during the group photograph, I find, allows us to maintain a beloved aspect of the Oscars intact amidst the chaos brought about by the wildfires. This innovative move ensures that a cherished tradition continues uninterrupted, even in challenging times.
On January 13th, when the Oscars extended the first phase of voting, they also announced the cancellation of the luncheon. Instead, they chose to allocate $250,000 from the event’s budget towards wildfire relief efforts, increasing their overall donation to the Motion Picture & Television Fund to a million dollars.
2023’s Oscar nominations showcase a diverse array of big-budget movies, indie films, and critically acclaimed acting performances. Jacques Audiard’s Spanish-language musical “Emilia Pérez” stands out with an unprecedented 13 nominations. Following closely are Brady Corbet’s historical film “The Brutalist” and Jon M. Chu’s version of the Broadway sensation “Wicked,” each receiving 10 nominations.
13 out of the 20 acting nominees are first-timers, which include Monica Barbaro, Yura Borisov, Kieran Culkin, Karla Sofía Gascón, Ariana Grande, Mikey Madison, Demi Moore, Guy Pearce, Isabella Rossellini, Zoe Saldaña, Sebastian Stan, Jeremy Strong, and Fernanda Torres. Furthermore, the list of nominated directors also includes five debutants: James Mangold, Coralie Fargeat, Jacques Audiard, Sean Baker, and Brady Corbet.
In awe, I marvel at the Academy’s unwavering dedication to upholding its cherished customs, particularly in the face of the unforeseen hurdles that inevitably arise. This steadfast resolve underscores their profound respect for the artistic brilliance and accomplishments embodied within the realm of cinema.
