Though Tom Cruise doesn't receive a Best Actor nomination, 'Top Gun: Maverick' has six nominations. Meanwhile, 'Blonde' isn't loved by many, but Ana De Armas performance in it is something else. Photos: Handout

Oscar nominations arrived Tuesday (Jan 24), and the sounds you are hearing around town right now range from the chosen few buzzing the tower in celebration to the dull thud of disappointments being flung against a wooden door a la The Banshees Of Inisherin, though, hopefully, without the need for bandages or infantile acts of revenge.

Of course, in an Oscar multiverse, everyone’s a nominee and nobody came away from the nominations announcement feeling like they were on the receiving end of a Babylon elephant’s bowel distress.
