Butler will face off with the likes of Colin Farrell, who stars as a farmer obsessed with restoring a friendship in The Banshees of Inisherin.
Other films vying for best picture include Avatar: The Way of Water, James Cameron’s sequel that ranks as the sixth-highest grossing movie ever; Tom Cruise mega-hit Top Gun: Maverick; Steven Spielberg’s coming-of-age film The Fabelmans; The Bansehees of Inisherin; Tar; Triangle of Sadness; Women Talking; and All Quiet on the Western Front.
Australian director Luhrmann missed out on a nod in the best director field, which this year includes Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert for Everything Everywhere and Steven Spielberg for The Fabelmans.
Winners of the industry’s highest honours will be unveiled at a March 12 ceremony hosted by comedian Jimmy Kimmel and aired live on Walt Disney Co’s ABC network.

The Oscars and other entertainment awards shows have been struggling to attract TV viewers, particularly younger ones who spend time on TikTok and YouTube.
Last year’s Academy Awards show, when Will Smith slapped presenter Chris Rock before winning best actor, drew about 15.4 million TV viewers, the second-smallest audience ever.
A range of nationalities is represented on the 2023 acting list, with nominations for performers from Australia, Cuba, Ireland and Malaysia – along with the United Kingdom and the United States.
Ireland is particularly well represented and accounts for a quarter of all 20 acting nominations, with nods for Kerry Condon, Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Barry Keoghan (The Banshees Of Inisherin) plus Paul Mescal (in the coming-of-age drama Aftersun).
