Who is nominated?
The Spanish-language narco-musical “Emilia Pérez” leads the pack with 13 nominations, followed by Brady Corbet’s epic drama “The Brutalist” and the gravity-defying musical “Wicked” with 10 each.
“A Complete Unknown,” the Bob Dylan biopic; and “Conclave,” Edward Berger’s Ralph-Fiennes-led drama about a group of cardinals gathered in the Vatican to choose a new pope, each picked up eight.
In the acting races, Adrien Brody (“The Brutalist”), Timothée Chalamet (“A Complete Unknown”), Colman Domingo (“Sing Sing”), Ralph Fiennes (“Conclave”) and Sebastian Stan (“The Apprentice”) will square off for best actor. Cynthia Erivo (“Wicked”), Karla Sofía Gascón (“Emilia Pérez”), Mikey Madison (“Anora”), Demi Moore (“The Substance”) and Fernanda Torres (“I’m Still Here”) will duke it out for best actress.
How can I watch the nominated films?
Of the 10 best picture nominees — “Anora,” “The Brutalist,” “A Complete Unknown,” “Conclave,” “Dune: Part 2,” “Emilia Pérez,” “I’m Still Here,” “Nickel Boys,” “The Substance,” and “Wicked” — only “I’m Still Here” is still exclusively in theaters.
The others are available to either stream or rent on various platforms.
Who is going to win?
First things first: Best picture. It’s still “Anora”’s race to lose, despite “Conclave”’s win at the SAGs last weekend. The film has picked up top prizes from the producers, directors and writers guilds, and its director, Sean Baker, is the favorite in the director and original screenplay categories, traditional accouterments of the night’s top winner.
But almost every surprise Oscar best picture winner — looking at you, “Shakespeare in Love” (1999), “Crash” (2006), “Spotlight” (2016), “Parasite” (2020) and “CODA” (2022) — has first won best ensemble at the SAGs.
