Jodie Foster's back, 'Barbie' brings novel numbers and other Oscar nomination facts and figures
Here's a look at some notable facts and figures from this year's Oscar nominations
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A look at notable facts, figures and curiosities from Tuesday's nominations for the 96th Academy Awards, which saw “Oppenheimer” lead with 13 Oscar nominations, with “Poor Things” and “Killers of the Flower Moon” also running up big numbers.
Jodie Foster became an Academy Awards mainstay starting at age 14 with her first nomination for Martin Scorsese's “Taxi Driver” in 1977. This year she returns with a best supporting actress nomination after an unusually long absence. Like her “Nyad” co-star Annette Bening, she got her fifth Oscar nomination for the based-on-a-true-story swimming drama from Netflix, and it's Foster's first in 29 years. Her last nod was for “Nell” in 1995.
She has won twice, for “The Accused” in 1989 and for “The Silence of the Lambs" in 1992. (Bening has yet to take a statute home.) Foster has more nominations than the rest of the actors in her category combined. Emily Blunt, Danielle Brooks, America Ferrera and Da’Vine Joy Randolph are all first-timers.
