On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we are kicking things off with a breakdown and discussion on the 2024 Oscar nominations, from what should win to what was obviously “snubbed” in all of the major categories. Was Barbie treated fairly? Will Oppenheimer sweep? Is Godzilla Minus One going to beat blockbusters for that Visual Effects Oscar? It’s time to dive in! The 96th Academy Awards will air Sunday, March 10, 2024 on ABC.

See below for the full list of Oscar nominees.
