From Barbie and Oppenheimer to Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper, these are the little details that make awards season special.

The film industry has had another eventful year - Super Mario ruled the box office, Barbenheimer became a viral phenomenon, and Saltburn's Barry Keoghan made some questionable choices in a bathtub.

She would follow in the footsteps of Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster, Elizabeth Taylor, Bette Davis, Luise Rainer, Olivia de Havilland and Hilary Swank. No male actor has ever achieved the same feat.

Greta Gerwig, who directed and co-wrote the film, is the only director to have her first three movies nominated for best picture - Lady Bird, Little Women and Barbie. It's a different story in best actress, which recently has been matching up with best picture more often. Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan attended the Producers Guild Awards together in February.

The only people to have scored more nominations without a win are sound engineer Greg P. Russell , composer Thomas Newman , songwriter Diane Warren and special effect supervisor Daniel Sudick . They are Rustin's Colman Domingo, who portrays civil rights activist Bayard Rustin, and Nyad's Jodie Foster, who plays swimmer Diana Nyad's friend and coach Bonnie Stoll.Jodie Foster and Colman Domingo have already made history with their nominations.
