We're starting to enter awards season and the Academy has released its shortlists in a few key categories ahead of the 95th Academy Awards on March 12. The lists show off the most-likely nominees in ten categories: Documentary Feature, Documentary Short, International Feature, Live Action Short, Animated Short, Makeup and Hairstyling, Music Score, Original Song, Sound, and Visual Effects. All nominees will be unveiled on January 24, but these shortlists give some feel for what features the Academy is looking at for major awards.

One thing that's apparent is the love for Netflix's All Quiet On the Western Front ahead of this year's awards. The German film is tied with the fan-favorite Black Panther: Wakanda Forever for the most appearances with five, in every category it could've been nominated in. Most notably, it lands on the shortlist for International Features, competing against massive films like South Korea's Decision to Leave from Park Chan-wook, Alejandro G. Iñárritu's Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths out of Mexico, and the buzzy Close from Lukas Dhont out of Belgium. Edward Berger's adaptation of the classic tale has a real shot at making waves at this year's show and could even get some recognition among the bigger awards despite the crowded field.

Blockbusters are also making a big splash this year with several mentions for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Avatar: The Way of Water, and Top Gun: Maverick. The James Cameron sequel leads the group with four nods while Maverick earns three and Multiverse of Madness earns a lone mention in the visual effects category. With so much attention on The Way of Water following its recent release, it seems poised to repeat what its predecessor accomplished in terms of multiple nominations. The Batman, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio, and Babylon get a fair shake too with three nominations each.

Some pop favorites receive some mention in the music categories, including Taylor Swift, Rhianna, Lady Gaga, and Selena Gomez for her own documentary My Mind and Me. One artist is looking for her 14th nomination, however - the legendary Dianne Warren with "Applause" from Tell It Like a Woman. It's also in the Original Song category that Indian epic RRR gets its lone mention for the delightfully catchy tune "Naatu Naatu".

The rest of the list features some expected mentions like The Fabelmans, Elvis, Women Talking, The Banshees of Inisherin, and Women Talking among others. While the documentary category includes plenty of solid choices like Moonage Daydream and The Janes, there is a surprising absence from Good Night Oppy, which seemed like a shoo-in for a nomination at this year's awards. Check out the films that made the cut below.
