The Oscar nominations will be revealed on January 23, delayed by the recent fires in Los Angeles. As awards season kicks off, highlighted by events such as the Golden Globes, certain films are starting to emerge as notable contenders.
Several films across genres are in the running for nominations, and here at Marca, we are ready to spotlight potential nominees, many of which are available on streaming platforms or in cinemas.
Films Poised for Numerous Oscar Nominations:
Conclave: Currently in theatres, “Conclave” has garnered attention from the BAFTAs, Critics Choice Awards, and Golden Globes. It is a strong candidate for Best Picture and features a notable performance by Ralph Fiennes.
The Brutalist: Catching eyes this season, “The Brutalist,” starring Adrien Brody and recent winner of “Best Drama Film” at the Golden Globes, stands out as a potential dark horse. However, its lengthy runtime of over three hours and complex narrative has divided jurors.
Anora: “Anora” has secured several nominations this season, with Mikey Madison delivering a breakthrough performance, competing strongly against Demi Moore for top acting honours.
The Substance: This film makes a strong case for the horror genre, particularly in body horror, a lesser-explored subgenre. Expectations are high for Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley to receive nominations for their performances.
