On a night dedicated to the best of American cinema, it was the Brits who lit up the red carpet outside Hollywood’s Dolby Theater ahead of the 96th annual Academy Awards on Sunday night.

With Barbie and Oppenheimer widely expected to share the spoils after dominating much of this awards season, actresses Emily Blunt, Andrea Riseborough and Miami born, UK raised Anya Taylor-Joy ensured they claimed their fair share of the limelight during their respective performances outside the iconic venue.

The four stars flew the British flag as they rubbed shoulders with other guests at the ceremony, which began about four hours before the first award was announced.

Oppenheimer has 13 nods, including best picture and best actor for Cillian Murphy – who is favorite to win the lead category after winning a BAFTA, a Golden Globe and SAG Award for his role as physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.

The impressive total — which also includes Best Supporting Actor and Actress for Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt, as well as best director for Christopher Nolan – is just one nomination short of the all-time record set by Titanic in 1998.

Last year’s other blockbuster – Barbie – was nominated for eight awards, but also fell victim to notable snubs from the Academy.

Its star Margot Robbie was not nominated for Best Actress, while Greta Gerwig was not nominated for Best Director.

Another surprise saw America Ferrera nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Barbie, with pundits saying her character’s impassioned speech about feminism sealed the deal.

Barbie’s other nominations include Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for Ryan Gosling and two nods for Best Song – including Gosling’s famous ‘I’m Just Ken’.

The second most nominated film was Poor Things, a graphic art house film starring Emma Stone that has impressed critics but so far failed to set off a fire at the box office.

Stone plays a sex-crazed young woman, and her performance wows critics. She previously won Best Actress in 2017 for her performance in La La Land.

For Best Actor, Bradley Cooper and Cillian Murphy are set to win the award. Colman Domingo, Paul Giamatti and Jeffrey Wright also received nominations.

Leonardo DiCaprio was not recognized for his acting on Killers Of The Flower Moon.

Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things took home 11 Oscar nominations, and Killers of the Flower Moon landed 10.

Annette Bening, Lily Gladstone, Sandra Huller, Carey Mulligan and Emma Stone have been nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role.

Gladstone is the first Indian to be nominated for Best Actress for her performance in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon – and is the favorite in the category thanks to her wins at the Golden Globes and SAG Awards,

What Was I Made For by Billie Eilish and I’m Just Ken by Ryan Gosling from Barbie received their expected nominations for Best Original Song.

Sterling K. Brown, Robert De Niro, Robert Downey Jr., Ryan Gosling and Mark Ruffalo received nominations for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.

Emily Blunt, Danielle Brooks, America Ferrera, Jodie Foster and Da’Vine Joy Randolph received nominations for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.

Joy has already won the Golden Globe, Bafta, Critics Choice and Screen Actors Guild awards and is favorite for an Oscar for her performance as the left-behind chef in The Holdovers.

Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer were nominated for best director, snubbing Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.
