  On the morning of January 24th, local time, actors Riz Ahmed and Allison Williams announced the finalists of the 95th Academy Awards at Godwin Theatre in Beverly Hills.

  The shortlisted awards of Instant Universe, which is set in the story background of American Chinese immigrant families, include best film, best actress, best supporting actor, best supporting actress, best director and best original script. Eleven nominations should also be the best Oscar nominations for films featuring Asians. Previously, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in 2000 won 10 nominations, and Parasite in 2020 won 6 nominations.

  Among the short-listed awards for Instant Universe, Guan Jiwei is considered to have almost touched the golden statuette for Best Supporting Actor. Yang Ziqiong is also considered to be the first Asian winner of the Best Actress Award, and her biggest rival is undoubtedly Cate Blanchett of Tal. In the Best Supporting Actress Award, Jamie Lee Curtis and Xu Weilun, who starred in the film, were both selected. It is worth mentioning that Hong Chau was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Whale — — It is rare for two Asian actors to be shortlisted for this award.

  Among other nominations, Avatar: The Way of Water, which was released in 2022 and ranked the top two in the global box office, and Top Gun: Maverick were shortlisted for the best film. The two major productions received four nominations and six nominations respectively. Another blockbuster, Panther 2, received seven nominations, including the best supporting actress of Angela Bessette. This is the first time that a Marvel Comics film has been nominated for a performance award, and she is also considered as the strongest contender for this year’s award.

  In the Best Actor Award, it is generally believed that this year’s competition will be held between Colin Farrell in "The Banshee of Inishelin" and brendan fraser in "Whale". However, the shortlisting of two young actors, austin butler of Elvis Presley and Paul Meska of Holiday after the Sun, is also gratifying.

  Surprisingly, the Korean film The Resolution to Break Up, starring Tang Wei and directed by Park Chan-wook, failed to be selected as the best international film. The Pakistani film Promised Land, which is highly appraised, also fell to Sun Shan, and was replaced by the Belgian film Intimacy and the Polish film Donkey Barking.

  In addition, in the best photography awards, The New Batman and Top Gun: Maverick were not selected, but The Poet and Tal with literary themes were selected.

  Ruben Ostlund, a Swedish director, said in an interview after winning the european film awards that he would not try his best to compete for the Oscar for The Triangle of Sorrow. However, even without public relations efforts, The Triangle of Sorrow was shortlisted for three awards: Best Film, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay.

  The 95th Academy Awards Ceremony will be held on March 12th. Jimmy kimmel, the master of Jimmy Feather Show, will be the host for the third time.
