First-time nominees Michelle Yeoh and Austin Butler are competing for Best Actress and Best Actor for this year's Oscars.LOS ANGELES – Dimension-hopping adventure Everything Everywhere All at Once topped the list of movies nominated on Tuesday for this year's Oscars as Hollywood's film academy chose several crowd-pleasing hits to compete for the best picture prize.

Top Gun: Maverick and Elvis, two of last summer's biggest blockbusters, also made the cut alongside Steven Spielberg's autobiographical coming-of-age drama The Fabelmans and dark comedy The Banshees of Inisherin. The Oscars and other awards shows have been struggling to attract TV viewers, particularly younger ones who spend time on TikTok and YouTube.

"When the movies are popular with the public, the public feels invested and tunes in to see who wins," Feinberg said. "This is setting them up for success as much as anything could."They included Austin Butler for his portrayal of rock legend Elvis Presley, and Colin Farrell, who starred as an Irish farmer obsessed with restoring a friendship in Banshees. Top Gun star Tom Cruise did not make it into the field.

The academy added more women and people of colour to its ranks after the #OscarsSoWhite uproars of 2015 and 2016, and it increased membership from outside the US. Smith, who starred in slavery drama Emancipation, was not nominated. He was been banned from attending the Oscars for 10 years after slapping Rock, but he remains eligible for nominations and awards.
