Top Gun: Maverick has been nominated for six Oscars including Best Picture, in a sign that Hollywood is finally listening to audiences and honoring box office hits instead of arthouse favorites.
The movie starring Tom Cruise is nominated for Best Picture along with Elvis, Avatar: The Way of Water, All Quiet on the Western Front and The Fabelmans at the 95th Academy Awards, which will be hosted on March 12 by Jimmy Kimmel.
While Cruise missed out on a nomination for Best Actor, the nomination for Best Picture could bring him his first Academy Award.
Everything Everywhere All at Once won 11 nominations and The Banshees of Inisherin won nine nominations. The two films swept the Golden Globes earlier this month.
Elvis, by Baz Luhrmann, won eight nominations, including one for Austin Butler.

While Cruise missed out on a nomination for Best Actor, Austin Butler (Elvis) Brendan Fraser (The Whale) and Bill Nighy (Living) all received nods.
One film that received no nominations was The Woman King, starring Viola Davis.
All Quiet on the Western Front, a German-produced film, won multiple nominations, as did Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, including Best Original Song.

Over the last five years, ratings for the once-adored show have steadily plummeted.
Last year's drama with Will Smith and Chris Rock revived the flailing numbers, but it also made the prestigious event into a mockery.
This year's awards season kicked off with the Golden Globes on January 10.
Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans won Best Picture, with The Banshees of Inisherin winning Best Picture: Musical/Comedy.
Cate Blanchett won Best Actress for her performance in Tár, while Austin Butler won Best Actor for his role in the Elvis biopic.
Angela Bassett won Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Key Huy Quan won Best Supporting Actor for Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Top Gun: Maverick, one of the highest grossing films of the last few years, was snubbed at the Globes.
Kimmel previously hosted the event in 2017 and 2018, when ratings were considerably higher than in recent years.
This year's awards bring first-time nominations for Colin Farrell and Bill Nighy, who are both nominated for Best Actor.
Nighy won his nomination for Living, in which he portrays a veteran civil servant who is inspired to make the most of his remaining days.
Farrell's performance in The Banshees of Inisherin won has dazzled the awards circuit so far.
Michelle Yeoh in Everything Everywhere All At Once. The movie has swept awards season so far. Yeoh is nominated for Best Actress
Another critics' favorite is The Banshees of Inisherin, starring Colin Farrell
