Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, the biopic turned blockbuster summer extravaganza dramatizing J. Robert Oppenheimer’s work on the Manhattan Project, led the 2023 Gold Digger Awards with 11 nominations, including Best Feature Film, Best Directing and Best Leading Actor for Cillian Murphy’s portrayal of Oppenheimer. Despite its exclusion in a number of top categories, including, once again, Best Feature Film, Best Directing and Best Actress, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, a fantasia summer overdosing on pink tentpole, trailed with 10 nominations. Barbenheimer didn’t just dominate the multiplexes last summer, it dominated our awards as well.

Close behind them are Justine Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall, a thorny character study of a women on trial for murdering her husband, and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, a sweeping statement of the American psyche through the dramatization of the genocide of the Osage Nation tribe, both of whom earned 9 nominations. Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, the Frankensteinian tale of Bella Baxter coming of age, seeking independence and finding her place in the world, rounded out our top five with 8 nominations. Our top nomination-getters are all major Oscar players who met or exceeded their count with that more famous but equally prestigious organization.

Elsewhere, Todd Haynes’ zeitgeist water cooler shaker May December and Celine Song’s debut romantic drama Past Lives received 7 nominations apiece, while Andrew Heigh’s cross-cultural Strangers adaptation All of Us Strangers, Wes Anderson’s Russian nesting doll variation of his signature porcelain doll house pastiche aesthetic Asteroid City and Albert Serra’s Pacifiction, a somnolent cold war thriller about the threat of a nuclear outbreak in the Indonesian isles of Tahiti, all received 6 nominations apiece.

A total of 65 films earned at least one nomination from the 2023 Gold Diggers voting body. These films were pulled from 26 countries, with the vast majority of the nominees hailing from the US. We’d like to single out that seven international titles, including the aforementioned Anatomy of a Fall and Pacifiction, all landed nominations in our below-the-line technical categories. Also, Christian Petzold’s Afire snuck into our Best Original Screenplay category, João Pedro Rodrigues’s Will-o’-The-Wisp landed in our Best Choreography ballot, Hlynur Palmasson’s Godland landed in Best Cinematography ballot and The Boy and the Heron’s Makasi Suda, Perfect Days’ Koji Yakusho and Anatomy of a Fall’s Sandra Hüller all received nods in Best Vocal Performance, Best Leading Actor and Best Leading Actress, respectfully. We’d like to also single out that in the both supporting acting categories we only match up with the Academy 1 for 5.

While missing in the Best Director category, American auteur Wes Anderson was this year’s big winner, with six individual nominations: Best Feature film for producing Asteroid City, three individual nominations in the Best Short category, for directing-producing The Swan, Poison and The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, Best Original Screenplay and Best Original Song both for the aforementioned Asteroid City. Thirteen of our twenty standardized acting nominees (Best Leading Actor-Actress, Supporting Actor-Actress), came from Best Feature Film nominees, while the aforementioned Kenji Yakusho and Ryan Gosling landed acting bids, and additionally the acting duo from Alexander Payne’s The Holdovers Paul Giamatti and Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Ferrari’s Penelope Cruz, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret’s Rachel McAdams and Passages’ Ben Wishaw were also nominated. Anatomy of a Fall’s Milo Machado-Granier is a two time nominee this year, nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Best Acting Newcomer.

Additionally, Joaquim Dos Santos & Justin K. Thompson & Kemp Powers’ Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, a cultural phenomenon that not only pushes the boundaries of the craft of animation, but boundaries of comic-book adaptation storytelling as a whole, managed to take dual spots in our Best Vocal Performance category for both Shameik Moore and Hailee Steinfeld. They’re nominated alongside Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’s Bradley Cooper, Nimona’s Chloe Grace Moretz and the aforementioned Masaki Suda for The Boy and the Heron. Among distributors, A24 leads the pack with 20 nominations for their films, with Netflix following close behind at 19 nominations. Rounding out our top five, Searchlight Films earned 16 nominations, Neon earned 13 nominations, and Paramount Pictures earned 12 nominations.
