The excitement for Oscars 2024 is at an all-time high, with audiences wanting to know about every detail as possible. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Friday announced the shortlists in 10 categories for the upcoming 96th Oscars.

Actor Margot Robbie's meta-comedy film 'Barbie' had the most mentions with five including sound, original song for its three submissions from Billie Eilish ("What I Was Made For?"), Dua Lipa ("Dance the Night") and Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt ("I'm Just Ken"), and original score, from the latter duo. The big miss for "Barbie" was in makeup and hairstyling, which was the category that yielded the most surprises, as per Variety, a US-based media outlet.

The nominations voting period will run from January 11-16, 2024, with the official nominations announcement on January 23.
