Oscar 2024: here’s who the candidates will be

Next Tuesday, January 23, the Oscar nominations will finally be announced. ¿Barbie, Oppenheimer, poor creatures AND The Moon Assassins Will they compete for best picture? Margot Robbie, Emma Stone, Lily Gladstone and Carey Mulligan, as best actresses? Bradley Cooper, Cillian Murphy, Paul Giamatti and Leo DiCaprio, as best actors?

There is no way to predict the vote of the almost 10 thousand people who have already expressed their preferences in the 23 areas. The 96th Hollywood Academy Awards ceremony will be held on March 10 at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.

as best film there are some published titlesAS Oppenheimer, poor creatures, Barbie, The Moon Assassins, Those who remain, American fiction AND Teacher. It is assumed that there will be 10 candidates and they would be there too Anatomy of a fall, The area of ​​interest and possibly Past lives. The color purple AND air They are lowering their Oscar claims.

From these 10 films the 5 best directors should emerge. Are we risking it? Not so much: Christopher Nolan (Oppenheimer), Greta Gerwig (Barbie), Martin Scorsese (The Moon Assassins), Yorgos Lanthimos (poor creatures) and Alexander Payne (Those who remain) were nominated by the Director’s Guild of America, which brings together directors. They should be the same. At most, Jonathan Glazer (The area of ​​interest) and the French Justine Triet (Anatomy of a fall).

But there is another way to predict, if possible, who the nominees will be, at least in the acting categories.

As?

Well, before the voting for the Oscar nominations began (it was January 11th), three bodies had announced their candidates: the Golden Globes, the Critics Choice Awards and the SAG Awards, of the actors’ union.

Even if those voted for the latter often coincide with the Oscar candidates (the interpreters’ branch is the largest in the Academy), given that 9 main and 6 secondary interpreters were nominated for the three awards mentioned above, well it goes without saying an indication of what could be announced this Tuesday.

some fixed

For best actor, Bradley Cooper (Teacher), Colman Domingo (Rustin), Paolo Giamatti (Those who remain), Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) and Jeffrey Wright (American fiction). Leo DiCaprio can come here, though The Moon Assassins. The question is to decide who will emerge from the nominated quintet.

For best leading actress, Lily Gladstone (The Moon Assassins), Carey Mulligan (Teacher), Margot Robbie (Barbie) and Emma Stone (poor creatures). Let’s add the German Sandra Hüller (Tony Erdman) Of Anatomy of a fall (academics love naming foreign artists).

For Best Supporting Actor, he was nominated by both the Globe, Critics Choice and SAG Robert De Niro (The Moon Assassinsa), Robert Downey Jr. (Oppenheimer) and Ryan Gosling (Barbie). Both Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe, both for poor creaturesit could be them, and others to add are the younger Domenico Sessa (Those who remain) and Charles Melton (May December).

And for best supporting actress, again in alphabetical order, there are four who would have secured a place in the nominations at the Hollywood Academy Awards: Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer), Danielle Brooks (The color purple), Jodie Foster (Nyad) and Da’Vine Joy Randolph (Those who remain). Let’s add the already winner for Julianne Moore May Decemberrya Penélope Cruz, by Ferrari to join the discussion.

The Bafta nominations released this Thursday do not influence the Oscar nominations, as the voting period closed on Tuesday 16 January. Of all the actors mentioned above, only Lily Gladstone and Jodie Foster were not nominated for the British Film Academy Award.

A year ago we dreamed of it Argentina, 1985 it won an Oscar nomination for best international film. This year, The criminals, by Rodrigo Moreno, failed to make it past the short list of 15 titles. There’s virtually no doubt here, and unless there’s some surprise…Anatomy of a fall she cannot be there, because France did not choose and send her The taste of thingswith Juliette Binoche, who may be nominated-, The area of ​​interest (UK sent it) the Spanish one The snow societythe Finnish Autumn leaves AND Perfect days, by Wim Wenders (for Japan). There is no need to fire I captainfrom Italy, or from Ukrainian 20 days in Mariupolwhich is also documentary and would have a safe place in that area.

All that remains is to wait for Tuesday, around 10.30 in the morning in Argentina, when the mystery will begin to be revealed.
