The countdown has begun: these films and stars are fighting for the Oscars

“Barbie,” “Oppenheimer,” “Poor Things,” “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “The Holdovers” are at the forefront of this year’s race for the 96th Oscars. The Academy has just announced who will receive the coveted nominations.

The big favorites so far are competing for the best film “Oppenheimer” by Christopher Nolan and “Poor things» by Yorgos Lanthimos – ‘The Holdovers’, the new feel-good vehicle from the two-time Oscar winner, could fit in here Alexander Payne. Emma Stone (“Poor Things”) and Lily Gladstone (“Killers of the Flower Moon”) are the clear favorites for the best actress award, but also the German one Sandra Hueller (“Anatomie d’une chute”) has intact chances – and Margot Robbie (“Barbie”) would have more than deserved it.

No other performance by a leading actor has been able to achieve this feat Cilian Murphy than Oppenheimer – not even that of Paul Giamatti (“The Holdovers”), an absolute favorite of the jury.

During the 2023/24 awards season, Martin Scorsese’s ‘Barbie’, ‘Oppenheimer’, ‘Poor Things’ and ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’, each with over 300 nominations, are among the most popular films among the juries. “Oppenheimer” has received the most awards to date.

2023 was the big winner “Everything everywhere at once” by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. The surreal comedy was nominated for eleven Oscars and won seven, including four of the Big Five categories: film, director, lead actress (Michelle Yeoh) and original screenplay. The Oscar for Best Actor in 2023 went to Brendan Fraser for his role in ‘The Whale’.

The war drama ‘Nothing new in the West’ was also one of the winners in 2023. There were nine nominations and four Oscars. However, ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’ (nine nominations), ‘Elvis’ (eight) and ‘The Fablemans’ (seven) left empty-handed.
