One Battle After Another also is a top nominee, with 13, followed by Frankenstein, Marty Supreme and Sentimental Value with nine apiece. Danielle Brooks and Lewis Pullman announced this year's nominees in 24 categories, including the new casting award, in a live presentation from the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater This year, the Oscars has added a new category, the first since best animated feature was introduced in 2002, recognizing best casting. A shortlist of 10 films was released, along with Oscar shortlists in a number of other categories, last month, with the final nominees determined by members of the casting directors branch from a "bake-off" presentation of the shortlisted contenders. Hamnet, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, The Secret Agent and Sinners landed noms in that category.
