Joining Blanchett and Riseborough on The Shortlist are Yeoh, Michelle Williams (The Fablemans) and Ana de Armas (Blonde ).

Jamie Lee Curtis has received The First Oscar nomination of her long and varied career at 64, for her role as a tax inspector in Everything Everywhere All At Once .

The Best supporting actress category also provides a nomination for Angela Bassett for Black Panther : Wakanda Forever , which makes her The First Person to get an acting nod for a Marvel film.

It is a strong Year for Ireland all-round. There was also a nomination in The Best international film category for The Quiet Girl, about a shy young girl who goes to stay with her Distant Relatives for The summer.

In The Best Supporting Actor category, Brendan Gleeson and Barry Keoghan were both recognised for their roles in Martin Mcdonagh 's Banshees, alongside co-star Kerry Condon for best supporting actress.

US actor Bryan Tyree Henry was a surprise inclusion on The Supporting Actor shortlist for playing a garage owner with a painful past opposite Jennifer Lawrence in Apple's Causeway.

Paul Dano had been expected to appear in The same category for his turn in The Fabelmans, But missed Out - although co-star Judd Hirsch did make The Cut .

While it's a good showing for Irish talent, Jessie Buckley also missed Out on a best supporting actress nomination for her role in Women Talking .

Sarah Polley 's drama about abuse in a remote Mennonite community at least means there is one film directed by A Woman in The Coveted best picture race - But no women were nominated in The Best director category.
