Amid the battle for Best Picture, The Brutalist, Conclave and Emilia Perez are looking like the frontrunners considering their slew of other award wins, and the Best Actress contest could easily be clinched by The Substance actress Demi Moore.
Timothée Chalamet’s portrayal of singer Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown could also put him in the running for taking out the Best Actor gong after a surprise win at the SAG Awards last week.
New Zealand talent will also be front and centre, with Wellington’s Wētā FX nabbing three visual effects nominations, the most individual for the company’s history.
