“The Grand Budapest Hotel,” a film inspired by the writing of Austrian-Jewish novelist Stefan Zweig, led the Oscar nominations with nine, including for Best Picture and Best Director.
The Academy Awards nominations were announced Thursday in Los Angeles by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Other nominees include “Ida,” a Polish movie about a Catholic nun who learns she is the daughter of Jews killed during the Holocaust, for Best Foreign Language Film. Argentina’s entry in the category is “Wild Tales,” which was directed by Damian Szifron, who is Jewish, and featuring a Jewish wedding.
“Ida” also earned a nomination for Best Cinematography.

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
