Oliver Hermanus' first international film, Living, received two Academy Award nominations on Tuesday.
The 2023 Oscar nominations were announced, with the multiverse adventure Everything Everywhere All at Once receiving 11 nods, leading the pack.

After receiving four Bafta nominations last week, Living received nominations for Best Actor (Bill Nighy) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Kazuo Ishiguro).
Set in London in 1952, Living follows Mr Williams (Nighy), a civil servant who has become a small cog in the bureaucracy of rebuilding post-WWII England, as he learns that he has a terminal illness. He goes on a quest to find some meaning to his dull life.
Hermanus previously told News24 of his Bafta nominations: "Team Living has had a really exhilarating few months."
He added: "It's with great pride that we celebrate four Bafta nominations, including Best British Film! I couldn't be happier with this reception for my first-ever film outside South Africa!"
The Capetonian is currently filming his next project, Mary & George – a period drama series based on a true story about powerful royal family favourites Mary Villiers and her son George.
The series is Hermanus' first and stars Julianne Moore.
