With today marking International Women's Day, there couldn't be a better time to highlight all the female talent nominated at this year's Oscars, from leading ladies like Cate Blanchett and Ana De Armas, to costume designer Ruth Carter and film editor Monika Willi.

Ahead of this year's ceremony, 61 women were featured on the nominations list, whether being honoured for their individual performance in a film or as part of a team behind-the-scenes.

Leading the pack with the most nods for 2023 is Everything Everywhere All at Once, with the likes of Michelle Yeoh (Best Actress), Jamie Lee Curtis (Best Supporting Actress), Stephanie Hsu (Best Supporting Actress) and Shirley Kurata (Costume Design) flying the flag for the ladies on that A24 production.

A more surprising star that popped up on the nominations list this year was Andrea Riseborough, who is up for Best Actress thanks to her performance in To Leslie and a word-of-mouth campaign by Cate Blanchett, Edward Norton and Gwyneth Paltrow.

All Quiet on the Western Front and The Banshees of Inisherin are both tied with nine nominations each, with Kerry Condon (Best Supporting Actress) and Lesley Paterson (Best Adapted Screenplay) standing out in their male dominated films.

Meanwhile, it's a momentous occasion for Stephanie Hsu, who is one of many to receive her first Academy Award nomination this year, alongside the likes of Blonde's Ana De Armas and The Whale's Hong Chau.

As for behind-the-scenes, Babylon's Mary Zophres, Black Panther's Ruth Carter and Elvis' Catherine Martin are among those up for Best Costume Design, while women are also dominated the Makeup and Hairstyling category, with The Batman's Naomi Donne receiving a nod from the Academy.

Here's a full list of the inspiring women who are up for Academy Awards this Sunday:
