Apple Original Films' epic feature "Napoleon," from Ridley Scott, earned three Academy Award nominations for Best Costume Design, Best Production Design and Best Visual Effects.

 

"Thank you to the Academy for these nominations that celebrate both 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' Martin Scorsese's powerful film that has moved and inspired audiences across the globe, and Ridley Scott's spectacular epic ‘Napoleon,' two stories that illuminate the human experience," said Apple's head of worldwide video Zack Van Amburg. " From the dynamic and complex performances of Lily Gladstone and Robert De Niro and the gorgeous cinematography, design, editing and soundscape that immersed viewers in the world of the Osage Nation to the majestic costumes, sets and visual effects that brought Napoleonic France to vibrant life on screen, it is wonderful to see so many members of these brilliant creative teams recognized today. We applaud you all."

 

"It has been such a rewarding experience to see the exceptional work of so many incredibly gifted artists from 'Killers of the Flower Moon' and ‘Napoleon' nominated this morning," said Apple's head of worldwide video Jamie Erlicht. "We are greatly appreciative to the Academy for these honors. At Apple, we are passionate about bringing stories to the screen that push creative boundaries and make a difference in our world and we are thrilled for the recognition that has been given to these two special films with these nominations."

 

With 13 nominations in total, Apple more than doubles its record for Academy Award nominations in a single year, and is among this year's most-nominated studios since its launch just over four years ago.

"CODA" star Troy Kotsur was the first Deaf male actor to win Best Supporting Actor; and, writer-director Siân Heder landed her first-ever Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. In 2023, beloved Apple Original Film "The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse" won the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film.

 

Broadly hailed as a "masterpiece," "Killers of the Flower Moon" recently received nine BAFTA Film Award nominations including Best Picture, and has been honored as the Best Film of the Year by the National Board of Review, which named star Lily Gladstone as Best Actress, Martin Scorsese as Best Director and Rodrigo Prieto for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography, as well as being named to the American Film Institute's list of Motion Pictures of the Year. The film has also received over 200 accolades, in addition to recognition from over 30 critics groups globally, and has been named the No. 1 Best Film of 2023 by The New York Times and The New Yorker, and Best Film by the New York Film Critics Circle. Star Gladstone recently made history as the first Indigenous actress to win Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama at the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards. "Killers of the Flower Moon" is now streaming globally on Apple TV+ following its worldwide theatrical run.

 

Following its debut in theaters, "Napoleon" has landed nominations from the BAFTA Film Awards, including Outstanding British Film, Costume Designers Guild Awards for Excellence in Period Film, Art Directors Guild for Excellence in Production Design for Period Film and VES Award for Outstanding Supporting Visual Effects, among others.

  "Killers of the Flower Moon"  

 

"Killers of the Flower Moon" is set at the turn of the 20th century, when oil brought a fortune to the Osage Nation, who became some of the richest people in the world overnight. The wealth of these Native Americans immediately attracted white interlopers, who manipulated, extorted and stole as much Osage money as they could before resorting to murder. Based on a true story and told through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone), "Killers of the Flower Moon" is an epic western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal. Also starring Robert De Niro and Jesse Plemons, "Killers of the Flower Moon" is directed by Scorsese from a screenplay by Eric Roth and Scorsese, based on David Grann's bestselling book.

 

  "Napoleon"  

 

"Napoleon" is a spectacle-filled action epic that details the checkered rise and fall of the iconic French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, played by Oscar winner Joaquin Phoenix. Against a stunning backdrop of large-scale filmmaking orchestrated by legendary director Ridley Scott, the film captures Bonaparte's relentless journey to power through the prism of his addictive, volatile relationship with his one true love, Josephine, showcasing his visionary military and political tactics against some of the most dynamic practical battle sequences ever filmed.

Mobile Investing in Australia

After lagging behind for a prolonged period, Australia's tech sector is ramping up at an accelerated pace. The tech sector is now equivalent to 8.5 percent of the country's GDP as of the end of 2021, an increase of 26 percent since the onset of COVID-19 through June 2021 and a massive 79 percent increase over the past five years. Tech contributes AU$167 billion to the Australian economy, trailing only the mining (AU$205 billion) and financial/insurance (AU$169 billion) sectors.

Australia's characteristically resilient economy — which had not experienced a recession in nearly 30 years prior to COVID-19 lockdowns — has provided a sturdy backdrop for its growing tech sector. The growth in the tech sector’s contribution to the GDP has outpaced average growth of other industries by more than 400 percent, a gain partly attributable to accelerated digital technology adoption during the pandemic.

This dramatic expansion is largely in response to Australia's need to catch up to the rest of the world and assert itself in the global tech marketplace. Should the tech sector continue to grow at its current rate it will eventually surpass the relative GDP contribution of the long dominant mining sector. This will also complete the process of bringing Australia more in line with other western economies such as the UK, and notably Canada, which is comparable to Australia in terms of its dominant mining and agricultural industries.
