'Joker' steals all the 2020 Oscar nominations, but can it win?

The 2020 Oscar nominations are here, but Gotham City residents may be unhappy with the results. Joker came away from the Monday morning announcements with 11 nominations, including Best Director, Best Picture, Best Actor in a Leading Role, and Best Film Editing. Can Joker actually win any of the highly competitive awards? The answer may not matter, because the Clown Prince of Crime has already done his damage.

When it comes to those key awards like Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, Joker is competing against some of the most famous and celebrated faces in Hollywood. That includes Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino for director; and Leonardo DiCaprio and Adam Driver for leading male role. Best Picture is also very crowded this year, with other outsider entries like Jojo Rabbit and Parasite seemingly just as likely to win as Joker.

Specifically in the Best Director category, Joker’s inclusion solidified the list of nominees as being entirely male directors, with Todd Phillips (best known for The Hangover movies) taking a spot that could have gone to Greta Gerwig (Little Women) or Lulu Wang (The Farewell). That’s something Issa Rae didn’t shy away from mentioning while announcing he nominees alongside John Cho.

“Congratulations to those men,” Rae said.

Where Joker stands a better chance to win is in more genre-focused categories like costume design. Inverse spoke to Joker’s costume designer, Mark Bridges, who revealed that he took the Batman villain’s look in a totally new direction, rather than reference the comics.

“I did look online at what the Joker looked like when he first appeared in the ‘40s,” Bridges said. “It all just seemed just a little too contrived for the kind of movie that Todd wanted to make. We really weren’t a DC movie -– we were a Warner Bros. picture shooting in New York.”

Joker aside, the 2020 Oscar nominations also brought good news for fans of Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite, which earned six nominations — including Best Director and Best Picture — and drew raucous applause each time it was named during the announcements on Monday morning.
