Previously , Best Picture family had looked - like many others - to be heading for a engagement betweenOppenheimerandKillers of the Flower Moon . However , as honor time of year has gone , it ’s Christopher Nolan ’s picture that has pulled clear as the frontrunner . Oppenheimerlooks set to reign in the below - the - line category and win at least one acting one , and has good form . It was a bigwinner at the Golden globe 2024 , the Critics Choice Awards , and took home the top prize at the SAG , DGA , and PGA Awards .
Oppenheimer ’s Best Picture win looks inevitable , but could there be an overturn ? It ’s not unheard of , and perhaps the smart selection for an international bet is The Zone of Interest , another World War 2 movie that works as the antithesis of Oppenheimer .
Oppenheimer ’s Best Picture win looks inevitable , but could there be an upset ? It ’s not unheard of , andperhaps the saucy pick for an outdoor bet isThe Zone of Interest , another World War 2 motion-picture show that works as the antithesis ofOppenheimer . It has a few potent nominations , and one anonymous Oscar elector toldTHRthey’d be vote it for Best Picture - if there ’s unattackable reinforcement , then it has a chance , even if Nolan ’s movie looks so unbeatable .
alfresco of those , thenPoor Things ' 11 nominating address intend it ’s very much in the conversation alongsideKillers of the Flower Moon . The Holdoverspreviously gained some momentum and pick up Best Comedy or Musical at the Golden Globes , but may not have enough left to carry it forward . Anything else pull ahead , while not impossible , would play a huge blow .
The official Oscars 2024 nomination have been announced , including the 10 Best Picture nominees , and here ’s a foretelling of who will make headway .
22Best Director
Winner: Christopher Nolan (Oppenheimer)
Director
Christopher Nolan
Jonathan Glazer
Martin Scorsese
Yorgos Lanthimos
Justine Triet
Anatomy Of A Fall
Christopher Nolan has , amazingly , only been nominated for Best Director once(forDunkirk ) . In dividing line , Martin Scorsese has nine nominations so far , but only one profits ( forThe Departed ) . That ’s a major gap between the two most well - bang contenders , but pattern suggests the Academy will depend to give Nolan what many would see as an honor not only deserving forOppenheimer , but also his entire body of work . That he won the DGA Award only cement this .
There are plenty of other great directors in here , despite some major snubs like Greta Gerwig . Yorgos Lanthimos remains a unique voice ( and only he , Scorsese , and Nolan have DGA nomination , making them the strong three contenders ) . Jonathan Glazer delivers powerful oeuvre onThe Zone of Interest , and Justine Triet is a surprising but welcome nominee forAnatomy of a Fall . It ’s operose to debate with their nominations , butit very much feels like this is Nolan ’s time .
Best Director is set to be one of the biggest Oscars 2024 race . Here is a foretelling for which five nominative director will win the honor .
21Best Actress
Winner: Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon)
Actress
Lily Gladstone
Emma Stone
Carey Mulligan
Sandra Hüller
Annette Bening
Nyad
WhenPoor Thingswon the Golden Lion at Venice Film Festival , it seemed as though Emma Stone was an early lock for the Best Actress swag at the Oscars 2024 : already an awarding favorite despite just being in her early-30s ( with three nomination , one winnings ) , she ’s the wiz of Yorgos Lanthimos ' newfangled movie and received the most tending and praise for its winnings . However , Lily Gladstone coming into this category shake things up massively , and might be enough to take the Oscar off from Stone .
Gladstone is seen as the good part ofKillers of the Flower Moon ’s shape , which is no well-heeled feat in a moving picture starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro . The breakthrough should pull together a stack of support , particularly from the acting gild , and could be enough to carry her to the profits , having already picked up the Golden Globe . Killers of the Flower Moonhas a banging 10 nominations , but Gladstone might well be the only award it peck up , which wee her win feel more likely .
The other candidate do some good work , butBest Actress is very much Gladstone vs. Stone . The former has the greater momentum , specially after lease home the SAG Award , but Stone is popular , and a win here would n’t exactly be an overturn . Of all the pretend categories , this one is the knotty to call .
The Oscars 2024 Best Actress subspecies has several strong contenders among the nominees , but only one of them will be crowned the winner in March .
20Best Actor
Winner: Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer)
Actor
Cillian Murphy
Paul Giamatti
Bradley Cooper
Jeffrey Wright
Colman Domingo
Rustin
Eight of the last 13 Best Actor Oscars have locomote to someone playing a real - life figure , and that style could continue with Cillian Murphy . He ’s the beam star of the picture likely to pull ahead the most honor , and his sinewy turn as J. Robert Oppenheimer is the variety of complicated , meaty function that screams Oscars . It is , however , his very first nomination , which could see the Academy ’s center turn elsewhere .
" Elsewhere"is Paul Giamatti , who has emerged as the main competition . He won the Best Actor - Comedy or Musical award at the Golden Globes and then beat up Murphy at the Critics Choice Awards , so is a menace to his chances . Giamatti has also been around a farsighted time and is very well well-thought-of , despite only one previous nomination , and could be the name voters ferment to when so many others awards will be go toOppenheimer . Murphy ’s SAG Award means he ’s the best-loved heading into Oscars nightall the same , but Giamatti ’s race is n’t done just yet .
The Oscars 2024 Best Actor race has several strong rival after the nominating speech announcement , but only one of them will be crowned the winner .
19Best Supporting Actress
Winner: Da’Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers)
Da’Vine Joy Randolph
Emily Blunt
America Ferrera
Jodie Foster
Danielle Brooks
The Color Purple
At one tip , it had seemed like this was going to be the easiest of the act categories to call , because the other forecasts suggested thatKillers of the Flower Moon ’s Lily Gladstone would be entered into this race ( perhaps because it would signify a better luck of winning ) . That no longer looks place to be the case , however , with Gladstone alternatively introduce into the Best Actress race , but this still looks like a done deal .
The Holdovers ' Da’Vine Joy Randolph is the overwhelming favorite here , after dominating throughout awards season . Randolph play the schoolhouse Captain Cook who lost her son in the Vietnam War , and she ’s the film ’s outfox heart and its standout performing artist ( which landed her the Golden Globe , Critics Choice , and SAG Award ) .
The Holdovers ' Da’Vine Joy Randolph is the overpowering favorite here , after overtop throughout awards season . Randolph plays the school day Captain Cook who lost her son in the Vietnam War , and she ’s the pic ’s beating tenderness and its standout performing artist ( which landed her the Golden Globe , Critics Choice , and SAG Award ) . Competition comes fromOppenheimer , whichis a major contender and Emily Blunt is one of its strongest parts . America Ferrera has a surprisal nominating address forBarbie , but given it missed out on Best Director and Best Actress , it in all probability does n’t have wide enough support for the profits .
That is also true for Danielle Brooks inThe Color Purple , which was otherwise look out on altogether . Nyad does have plenty of love for its performances , with Bening also getting a nod , and Foster is also outstanding on screens inTrue Detective(something that a decade ago facilitate Matthew McConaughey to a win ) , but a victory would be a major upset .
The practiced keep going Actress race for the Oscars 2024 has a strong lean of campaigner , and the predicted victor only look more potential due to other profits .
18Best Supporting Actor
Winner: Robert Downey Jr. (Oppenheimer)
Robert Downey Jr
Ryan Gosling
Robert De Niro
Sterling K.Brown
Mark Ruffalo
At the 2009 Oscars , Robert Downey Jr. missed out on winning Best back Actorwith the award going to an doer from a Christopher Nolan pic , namely Heath Ledger inThe Dark Knight . 15 year on , and Downey Jr ’s best slam at an Oscar since then come in the same category , but this metre he ’s the oneina Nolan moving picture . WillOppenheimerbe enough to get him his first win ? He ’s get the sharpness precisely because he has n’t won before , and could be seen as being due , which has been chew over with win at the Globes , the BAFTAs , the SAGs , and more .
Ryan Gosling ’s nomination forBarbiewill likely be good Kenough , but it is also one of the motion-picture show ’s skillful chances at abigaward . Robert De Niro give his most acclaimed performance in eld inKillers of the Flower Moon , but impulse for the winnings has dipped . Sterling K. Brown was a recent upsurge , andAmerican Fictionhas strong supporting from the acting guilds , so ca n’t be solely dominate out . Meanwhile , Mark Ruffalo edged out Willem Dafoe for thePoor Thingsnod , but it ’s surd to see beyond Downey as the frontrunner .
The Best Supporting Actor Oscars 2024 slipstream is implausibly cheeseparing , as some major stars are vying for the chance to win the award after nominations .
17Best Original Screenplay
Winner: Anatomy Of A Fall
Justine Triet , Arthur Harari
Celine Song
David Hemingson
Bradley Cooper , Josh Singer
May December
Samy Burch , Alex Mechanik
WithBarbieconsidered as an adapted screenplay by the Academy , the Best Original Screenplay accolade looks more open . That benefitedMay Decemberfor a nomination , but what about in price of the win?Maestroleads the path out of these movie with seven nominating speech , but its screenplay is n’t one of the most praised or talked about parts of the movie . Instead , The HoldoversandAnatomy of a Fall , which have 5 nod from each one , front to be the one battle this outon Oscars night .
Anatomy of the Falltook home the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay , and has a Best Director nod that show up just how highly thought of it - and Triet - is . However , The Holdoversis clear popular too and its screenplay is superb , plus Alexander Payne movies have form here , so this will be a very tight slipstream . Past Liveswould also be deserving , but likely does n’t havequiteenough panoptic support .
The 2024 Golden Globe Awards were held a couple of months before the Oscars , and the winners indicate what could happen at the upcoming ceremony .
16Best Adapted Screenplay
Winner: American Fiction
Cord Jefferson ( free-base on “ Erasure ” by Percival Everett )
Christopher Nolan ( base on “ American Prometheus ” by Kai Bird , Martin J. Sherwin )
Noah Baumbach , Greta Gerwig ( based on the toys by Mattel )
Jonathan Glazer ( ground on the novel by Martin Amis )
Tony McNamara ( based on the book by Alasdair Gray )
Recent form paint a picture thatyou need to win a Best Screenplay accolade to gain Best Picture(four of the last five have done so , albeit with three coming from the Original side ) , but is that going to keep on withOppenheimer ? A win would not be a shock by any way , but it - surprisingly - is n’t the favorite head into the Oscars .
Instead , it’sAmerican Fictionthat has emerge as the frontrunner for Best Adapted Screenplay , having pick up a band of momentum . Cord Jefferson has win this award at the Critics Choice Awards , the BAFTAs , the Independent Spirit Awards , the Satellite Awards , and various others . While it does n’t come along to have huge funding higher up , its word form read how strong a contender it is here .
In terms of alternatives , this is one of the toughest categories of the intact nighttime . Barbie ’s snubs could fight it to what would be its braggy profits of the night ( and its screenplay is quite a marvel , given it did n’t have a source textual matter to work with).Poor Thingshas broad bread and butter , is imaginative and , again , this is the probability for a large accolade for it . The Zone of Interestis a work that resonates ( and completely changes its source material ) . This is one where things could be shaken up .
15Best Animated Feature Film
Winner: Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse
Spider - Man : Across the Spider - Verse
Kemp Powers , Justin K. Thompson , Phil Lord , Christopher Miller , Amy Pascal
The Boy and the Heron
Hayao Miyazaki , Toshio Suzuki
Elemental
Peter Sohn Denise Ream
Nimona
Nick Bruno , Troy Quane , Karen Ryan , Julie Zackary
Robot Dreams
Pablo Berger , Ibon Cormenzana , Ignasi Estapé , Sandra Tapia Díaz
Spider - Man : Into the Spider - Versewon this award five years at the 2019 Oscars , and withSpider - Man : Across the Spider - Versepushing its groundbreaking mix of animation panache and technology even further , then this should be its to lose after hold home the PGA Award . Verystrong competition comes from the return of Hayao Miyazaki withThe Boy and the Heron , his first feature film plastic film in a decade , which win the Golden Globe . Spider - Versemay just have spacious supporting , but this is incredibly close .
Pixar picked up its usual nomination forElemental , but a win this yr would be a bountiful seismic disturbance . The other nominees , NimonaandRobot Dreams , had to fight off some very tough rival to take those spots , and it ’s very difficult to imagine either catch the winnings unless momentum drastically geological fault .
14Best International Feature Film
Winner: The Zone of Interest

UK
Society of the Snow
J.A. Bayona
Spain
Perfect day
Wim Wenders
Japan
The Teachers ' Lounge

Io capitano
Matteo Garrone

Best International Feature at the Oscars 2024 could have been fabulously close to call if France had chosen to submitAnatomy of a Fall , which would ’ve put two Best Picture contenders into the subspecies . After that surprising snub ( which backfired with France’sThe Taste of Thingsnot even being name ) , buzzy Netflix hitSociety of the Snowlooks to be a strong contender . However , it ’s the to a great extent acclaimedThe Zone of Interestthat ’s the clear frontrunner . With it in tilt for some big prize , including Picture and Director , then the moving picture - which is from the UK but in German - should be guaranteed to gain .
