The Academy announces Oscars shortlists for 10 categories, including international film

There is one month to go until the nominations are announced for the 95th Academy Awards . However, ahead of the full list reveal, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced shortlists in 10 categories, including International Feature Film, Documentary Feature Film and Original Song. The shortlist announces the crop of films that will advance to the next round of voting. Come the release of the official nominations in January, the shortlist will be reduced to five movies per category — excluding the Best Picture Award, which has 10 nominees. The shortlist for International Feature Film includes South Korea's Decision to Leave , Last Film Show from India and Moroccan film The Blue Caftan. The Blue Caftan , directed by Maryam Touzani , is the story of a middle-aged tailor and his wife who run a traditional kaftan store in one of Morocco’s oldest cities. However, their relationship and life is turned upside down and re-examined with the arrival of a handsome new apprentice. To qualify for the category, the feature-length films must be produced outside the US with a predominantly non-English dialogue track. Films from 92 countries and regions were eligible in the category for the 2023 awards. The Batman , Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Blonde were listed in the Best Makeup and Hairstyling category; Netflix's First World War film All Quiet on the Western Front , Avatar: The Way of Water and Don't Worry Darling received Music (Original Score) nods; and Elvis , Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio and Top Gun: Maverick were listed in the S ound category. The shortlist for Best Original Song was also announced, with a number of popular musical acts making the cut, bringing them one step closer to a potential Oscar nomination. Giveon was listed for Time , featured in the film Amsterdam ; Rihanna for Lift Me Up from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever; Selena Gomez for My Mind & Me from her Apple TV+ documentary of the same name; Lady Gaga for Hold My Hand from Top Gun: Maverick; and Taylor Swift for Carolina from Where the Crawdads Sing . This would be the first Oscar nomination for Giveon, Gomez and Swift; Lady Gaga already has one Oscar win and two nominations to her name. The nominations will be announced on January 24 and the Oscars ceremony will be held on March 12 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
