23rd AARP Movies for Grownups Nominations
The major caveat here is that outside of the writing category, no one can be nominated here who isn’t eligible for AARP membership (50 years or older). You don’t have to be American, though.

The big surprise is El Conde, which was seldom mentioned as a possibility, but consider it’s Edward Lachman and it’s in black-and-white, it seems kind of like a no-brainer now. That said, it isn’t something too likely to carry over to the Oscars. Barbie is the clear loser here, but its cinematographer, Rodrigo Prieto, was…

51st Annie Awards Nominations
These nominations mostly confirm our thoughts. Super Mario Bros. looked like it wasn’t going to get a nomination at the Oscars and these nominations bare that out with the film earning a single nomination for voice acting.
