On Jan. 24, nominations were announced for the 95th Academy Awards, leaving some snubs and other surprises. Until the winners will be revealed on March 12, we have time to share predictions and catch up on the nominated films we missed.

There was an array of different films nominated for best picture this year including “Tár,” “Elvis,” “Women Talking,” and “Triangle of Sadness.” For the first time two blockbuster sequels made the cut, “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Avatar: The Way of Water,” collectively making $3.5 billion in ticket sales across the globe. “The Fabelmans” is director Steven Spielberg’s seventh best picture nomination.

Also receiving best picture nominations and leading the nomination totals were “All Quiet on the Western Front” and “The Banshees of Inisherin,” tied with nine. Though, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” takes the cake for most nominations this year receiving a whopping 11 nominations including best director (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), best supporting actor (Ke Huy Quan), best supporting actress (Stephanie Hsu), and best lead actress (Michelle Yeoh). This is Yeoh’s first Oscar nomination, and she is the first Asian woman to receive a lead actress nomination.

However, Yeoh is not the only first-time nominee in the lead actress and actor categories. Joining her is Ana de Armas (“Blonde”), Austin Butler (“Elvis”), Colin Farrell (“The Banshees of Inisherin”), Brendan Fraser (“The Whale”), Paul Mescal (“Aftersun”), and Bill Nighy (“Living”). Notably, Andrea Riseborough received lead actress for “To Leslie”, a film that is heading back to theaters after the nomination.

Some happy surprises were seen in the supporting nominee list, as well, including Hong Chau (“The Whale”) and Angela Bassett (“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”) who is the first actor from a Marvel film to be nominated.

With all that being said, Boston.com wants to hear your predictions and reviews of the nominated films. Who do you think will win? Which nominated movie did you love, and why?
