This morning the full list of nominations for Oscar Awards were announced today with Apple's Killer of the Flower Moon being a strong contender in many major categories. Among those setting records with their nominations were Lily Gladstone, who is the first Native American acting nominee, and Martin Scorsese, who is now the most-nominated living movie director.

One of the surprises that surfaced this morning was that Leonardo DiCaprio was snubbed while political-ranter Robert DeNiro was nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. While Apple's Film 'Napoleon' was a little disappointing, it still garnered three nominations as noted further below.

• Best Picture: Killers of the Flower Moon
