Each of the previous films (Z, 1969; Life Is Beautiful, 1998; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, 2000; Amour, 2012; Roma, 2018; Parasite, 2019; and Drive My Car, 2021) won for International Feature Film.

Cate Blanchett is a previous acting winner.

At 87 years old, Judd Hirsch becomes the second oldest acting nominee to date (Christopher Plummer holds the record at 88 years).

Ryan Coogler, nominated this year for Original Song for “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, joins a small group of individuals with nominations in both the Best Picture and Original Song categories (not necessarily from the same film) – Arthur Freed, Quincy Jones, Spike Jonze, James Schamus, Barbra Streisand, Fran Walsh and Pharrell Williams.

With her nomination in the Best Picture category this year, Catherine Martin becomes the seventh woman with nominations in three or more award categories (4 – Chloé Zhao; 3 – Barbra Streisand, Sofia Coppola, Fran Walsh, Emerald Fennell, Jane Campion). She is the first person with nominations in both the Best Picture and Costume Design categories, and the second person with nominations in both the Best Picture and Production Design categories (not necessarily from the same film) after Kristi Zea.
