Taylor Swift, the well-liked documentary about the Mars rover "Good Night Oppy," and actor Robert Downy Jr.'s documentary about his father were snubbed by the Academy.
Swift had presented the film at several major film festivals, but it was not nominated in the Live Action Short Film category.
Swift's song, "Carolina" from Where The Crawdads Sing, was on the short list for Music (Original Song), as was "My Mind & Me" from Selena Gomez's film.
The Robert Downey Jr. documentary did not make the short list.
The film was nominated in five categories.
Everything Everywhere All At Once did not make the cut in the visual effects category.
The winners of the Oscars will be announced on March 12. The show is on ABC.
There are 10 categories for the Academy to choose from: Documentary Feature Film, Documentary Short Film, International Feature Film, Makeup and Hair styling, Music (Original Score), Music (Original Song), Animated Short Film, Live Action Short Film, Sound andVisual Effects. Black Panther is the first superhero film to be nominated for a best picture award.
Swift is making her feature film directorial debut.
The opening weekend of Black Panther was the second-best of the year, according toForbes.
The strongest preview sales may mean the biggest opening of the year, but can it top Doctor Strange? There is a magazine called "Forbes."
