Oscars 2024: Here are all the LGBTQ+ nominees we're rooting for
These are the LGBTQ+ nominees for the 2024 Oscars!
Atlantic Records; Netflix
The nominations for the 96th annual Academy Award are finally here!
The 96th Academy Awards ceremony is set to take place on March 10 in Los Angeles. The awards show, airing on ABC, will once again be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.
It’s been a great year in cinema for LGBTQ+ actors, directors, writers, films, and characters, which gave us hope that the 2024 Oscars could potentially be the most queer- and trans-inclusive ceremony ever. On Tuesday, Jan. 23, the Oscars nominations announcement was live-streamed and cohosted by Zazie Beetz and Jack Quaid.
Even though many of our favorite contenders were unfortunately snubbed and didn’t receive nominations, we’re still getting some fierce representation at this year’s Academy Awards!
Scroll through to see the LGBTQ+ nominees for the 96th Academy Awards — which is scheduled to air on Sunday, March 10, 2024 on ABC.
