It’s time to finish up your Oscars ballots and dust off your awards season bingo cards, because the most glamorous night in movies is almost here. The 92nd Academy Awards broadcast is this weekend, which means it’s time for film buffs to have some fun as we dissect the films, stars, and behind-the-scenes talent nominated to compete for this year’s trophies.
Even before the Oscar nominations were announced last month by Issa Rae and John Cho, the 2020 awards season has already been a buzzy one. The 2020 Golden Globes practically sidelined Netflix as Martin Scorsese‘s The Irishman and Noah Baumbach‘s Marriage Story were both bypassed in favor of a pair of theatrical powerhouse films, Sam Mendes‘ 1917 and Quentin Tarantino‘s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. However, those films all made the cut at the Oscars, landing Best Picture nominations alongside Ford v. Ferrari, Jojo Rabbit, Joker, Little Women, and Parasite.
The 2020 Oscars had the opportunity to make up for some of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s shortcomings this year, but they failed to even nominate a single female director, despite the celebrated work of directors like Greta Gerwig (Little Women), Lulu Wang (The Farewell), Marielle Heller (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood), Olivia Wilde (Booksmart), and Lorene Scafaria (Hustlers).
Meanwhile, the acting categories are competitive this year. The nominees for Best Actor are Antonio Banderas for Pain and Glory, Leonardo DiCaprio for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Adam Driver for Marriage Story, Joaquin Phoenix for Joker, and Jonathan Pryce for The Two Popes. Phoenix is likely to be the favorite after winning at the Golden Globes. Best Actress contenders this year include Cynthia Erivo for Harriet, Scarlett Johansson for Marriage Story, Saoirse Ronan for Little Women, Charlize Theron for Bombshell, and Renée Zellweger for Judy. Zellweger has already collected a Golden Globe and a Critics’ Choice Award for her work in the film.
