So close, yet so far: 'Joyland' misses out on Oscar nomination

Everything Everywhere All At Once on Tuesday topped the Oscar nominations with 11 as India makes history with RRR

Despite a great run, Pakistan has missed out on its first Oscar nomination in the International Feature Film Category. Joyland, which became Pakistan's first ever film to have been shortlisted for the Academy Awards, didn't get a nomination.

Multiverse sci-fi smash Everything Everywhere All At Once on Tuesday topped the Oscar nominations with 11, as Hollywood formally kicked off the race to the Academy Awards on March 12.

Irish dark comedy The Banshees of Inisherin and World War I film All Quiet on the Western Front tied for second place with nine nominations, followed by rock biopic Elvis at eight and Steven Spielberg's quasi-memoir The Fabelmans at seven.

The nominations were announced by British Pakistani Oscar-winning actor, Riz Ahmed and Hollywood star Allison Williams. Saim Sadiq's directorial became the first Pakistani film to have been shortlisted for Oscars. India grabs one nomination in the Original Song category for RRR's Naatu Naatu.
