2024 was a wild year for cinema and this year’s Oscar nominations are proof of it. Despite getting nominated for Best Picture, in a shocking twist both Conclave and Wicked’s directors lost out on the nomination for Best Director. Both films have also received numerous other nominations in technical and acting categories as well.
