Oscars 2023: Everything Everywhere All at Once and Banshees of Inisherin lead nominations

Entertainment Reporter Rishi Davda looks at who's in the running for an Oscar this year as the nominations are unveiled

The Banshees of Inisherin has scooped nine Oscar nominations with two nods in the best supporting actor category and Colin Farrell nominated for best actor.

The sci-fi indie hit Everything Everywhere All at Once leads the nominations to the 95th Academy Awards with 11 nominations. 

Martin McDonagh's Ireland-set dark comedy, saw him pick up a nomination for best director, while the film was also nominated for best motion picture.

Brendan Gleeson has been nominated for an Oscar for best actor in a supporting role for The Banshees Of Inisherin, alongside co-star Barry Keoghan. Farrell's best actor Oscar nomination is his first.

Bill Nighy also received his first best actor Oscar nomination for his turn in Living, in which he portrays a veteran civil servant who is inspired to make the most of his remaining days, following a life of tedium.

German film All Quiet On The Western Front also received nine nominations, including best film and best international film.

The film's Scottish screenwriter Lesley Paterson told ITV News: “I was so nervous, it’s what everything is driving towards, it’s almost like you don’t want to admit it, but it’s true."

The former triathlete, added: “I think forever that’s what your film has the brush of, how many Oscars nominations or Oscars - it’s such a big deal.”

Meanwhile, British actress Andrea Riseborough was nominated for her first Academy Award following an outcry of famous supporters.

The 41-year-old has been recognised for her leading role in independent drama To Leslie.

The film, which is inspired by true events, sees Riseborough play a single mother who has turned to alcoholism after winning the lottery before turning her life around when a motel owner offers her a job.

The film did not receive any nods at the Golden Globes or the Critics’ Choice awards but has since had the backing of some of the most prominent names in Hollywood.

Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett, used the opening minute of her Critics Choice speech to single out Riseborough’s performance.

She described it as overlooked in acting awards, alongside Hollywood stars Kate Winslet, Amy Adams, Edward Norton, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Aniston, Zooey Deschanel and more who have also publicly backed the actress.

Riz Ahmed and Allison Williams announced the nominees at the ceremony on Tuesday, with Elvis - a biopic of the King of Rock 'n' Roll - and Marvel's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever also picking up multiple nominations.

The star-studded Oscars ceremony, due to be hosted by US talk show host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel, will take place on March 12 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
