This Oscar Night ,let us check them out to see what the folks in the entertainment business are suggesting will happen in the year 2024.
Be that as it may, at this year’s Oscar awards ceremony on Sunday, there will be contenders that mostly fall in the category from the biggest movie hits of the year to known Hollywood figures as well as new talents. Nowadays, as large – budget films and titanic dramas are among the nominees for the upcoming 2024 Academy Awards, it stands to reason that this celebration is going to be one of the most gripping in history. However, the year has already been on a brink of revealing the top music categories being selected by the activities of music industry experts since before the award ceremony.
Which film will grab the Best Picture Oscar?
The movie named Oppenheimer has high potential to take the scepter of best picture at the Oscar. Dealing with the scientist who contributed to the construction of the atomic bomb back in the days, Nolan nominated his historical project to the Oscars with the number of nominations as high as 13 this year.
It has won some of the Critics Choice, Golden Globe, Screen Actor Guild, Director, and Producers Guild awards before at those shows. It has also won many awards for the best picture, screenplay, and leading actors since it cast. The above remark can be taken as proof that it will be the leading candidate for the Best Picture award at the award ceremony.
As reported by Lilliana Vazquez, an on-air personality and lifestyle expert, it would surely be a shock if Oppenheimer does not get the Academy Award because it has already won from several groups. In the event that different groups like it and they concur on a winner, the movie most probably win at the Oscars.
Often films that grab the whole cinema industry’s attention because of the sheer number of stars and celebrities attending the premiere end up with an Oscar at the end of the road – like Argo and Slumdog Millionaire in case with the most recent successes.
He, Erik Davis, the heading editor to Fandango, believes that Oppenheimer is most likely to go home with Best Picture award. He admired not only the way it manages to capture all the aspects of storytelling, acting, camera work, editing, and music, but also the way it fuses them into such an immersive and unforgettable visual experience.
According to Erik Davis, the managing editor at Fandango, Oppenheimer stands out as a strong contender for Best Picture because all its parts work together to create more than just an entertaining film. Davis believes the movie excels in storytelling, acting, camera work, editing, and music, reaching a level worthy of an Oscar.
Lilliana Vazquez shares a similar view, stating that Oppenheimer is a sure bet for her due to its excellence in various aspects like style, script, and acting. She emphasizes that the film connects with a wide audience because of its relatable topic.
Oppenheimer competes with nine other films for the Best Picture category, but experts doubt any of them can surpass Nolan’s movie. Some potential underdogs mentioned include The Holdovers,Anatomy of a Fall, and Poor Things, each with its unique appeal.
Aramide Tinubu highlights Oppenheimer as a versatile film that resonates with everyone, especially in the context of historical dramas, which Americans tend to appreciate. While acknowledging other contenders, Tinubu suggests that “Oppenheimer” has a broad appeal.
Joyce Eng, an entertainment journalist, and senior editor at Gold Derby, notes the unpredictability in determining a runner-up this year. Eng and Christopher Rosen, Gold Derby’s digital director, agree that Oppenheimer dominates the Best Picture race not only because of its success in the awards circuit but also due to its qualities as a historical biopic, critical hit, and box office success.Rosen says that the initial impression given to audiences was of an indie film when it barely qualified as one, which helped it become popular.
Eng adds that Oppenheimer has maintained its frontrunner status without facing fatigue, making it a key factor in its continued success throughout the awards season.
Who’s going to take home the Best Actor Oscar?
The rivalry for the best picture award resembles the elite fight for the best actor award. The two are often in concord. They hold Cillian Murphy who was the scientist in Oppenheimer as the possible winner, as the character surged in this award show in the SAG Awards and the last one at the BAFTAs. This suggests that peers in the enterprise have strong support from them as well as considering them when voting for the Oscars.
Eng stated, To me it goes without saying that it’s almost hard to bet against Murphy since he has won various awards that are regarded as a vote of confidence in one’s work. The only thing he is missing was at the Critics Choice award, where the roles get closer. This shows that from the last eight out of the thirteen best actor Oscar winner, which were the story of the example who actually lived their life i.e. done in real life, is the audience’s love for these kinds of stories.
Rosen affirmed with his words, A real person playing is a plus for best actor, and with Oppenheimer as the definite best picture, there is no urge for Murphy to lose. The precede awards supports such success, so it is shocking if he loses on the Oscars day.
Despite the fact that Paul Giamatti, who is also the one recognized together with Murphy for his acting in the The Holdovers, is also a first-time, one of Oscars’ nominees, definitely, the actor of the movie is sure to get this award one day.
Davis remarked There is a tight race between these men since each of them has gone home with this trophy before. However, Murphy has a slight edge, especially considering the fact that ‘Oppenheimer’ is a major contender and its list of accolades don’t come as a surprise.
There is also stiff competition for this year’s Oscar for best actor from none other than Bradley Cooper (Maestro), Colman Domingo (Rustin) and Jeffrey Wright (American Fiction).
Who is set to win the Best Actress Oscar?
The race for the best actress at the Oscars has become a hot topic, with Lily Gladstone and Emma Stone being closely matched for their roles in Killers of the Flower Moon and Poor Things. Both performances have been praised as standout features in their respective movies.
According to Davis, the performances are quite different. Emma Stone’s is described as more physical and animated, with a noticeable transformation. On the other hand, Lily Gladstone’s performance is quieter and more internal.
Both actresses won best actress awards at the Golden Globes, each in a different category. Stone continued her success at the Critics Choice Awards and the BAFTAs, while Gladstone made history by winning at the SAG Awards as the first indigenous actor to do so. If she wins the Oscar, she would also be the first Native American actor to receive the award in this category.
Tinubu expressed uncertainty, saying, I can’t call it between Lily Gladstone and Emma Stone. She initially thought Gladstone would win but acknowledged that things have picked up for Stone as well, considering Poor Things as her film of the year.
Vazquez, who also favored Poor Things, described Stone’s performance as flawless but still believes Gladstone will win. She acknowledged Stone’s deserving performance but emphasized the significance of Gladstone’s potential win as the first indigenous actress, particularly given her role in a Scorsese film alongside major stars.
The competition remains intense in this category, with Gladstone and Stone facing off against Annette Bening for Nyad, Sandra Hüller for Anatomy of a Fall, and Carey Mulligan for Maestro.
