The musical or comedy camp is led by One Battle After Another, alongside Blue Moon, Bugonia, Marty Supreme, No Other Choice, Nouvelle Vague, and One Battle After Another again in two different lists, reflecting a busy year for genre-blending prestige. The nominations list on NPR also captures a rich lineup across other categories, including Best Motion Picture – Animated with Arco, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle, Elio, KPop Demon Hunters, Little Amélie, and Zootopia 2.
