This year’s Oscars promise tough competition between several movies and big names in American and global cinema. More than 320 feature films are eligible for this 2024 edition, including 265 for the Best Picture category, says the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The Academy has already released its list of shortlisted movies in 10 categories, including Music (Original Score, Original Song), Documentary Short Film and Animated Short Film.
Justine Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall” is tipped for success, after winning the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in May. The movie also won two Golden Globes on January 7 (Best Screenplay and Best Foreign Language Film).
Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” could win in several categories, alongside Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” and Yórgos Lánthimos’ “Poor Things.”
When it comes to actresses, Margot Robbie, Emma Stone, Emily Blunt and Julian Moore could shine at this year’s event, while Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr. and Bradley Cooper could have a good chance of being nominated in the men’s categories. Greta Gerwig, meanwhile, is on course for a nomination for Best Director, but will undoubtedly be up against Christopher Nolan.
