My, how much the race has evolved since the 96th Oscars nominations were announced January 23. We won’t say changed, since it seems like the certain sure bets at that time have become even surer bets. You all know “Oppenheimer,” long considered a frontrunner in many categories,” received the most nominations then with 13, followed by “Poor Things” with 11 and “Killers of the Flower Moon” with 10. Well, tonight, this evening of Sunday March 10 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles at 7:00pm ET, we’re finally gonna see if what we all assume to be true is actually going to pan out: That “Oppenheimer” is teed up for a very big night, as IndieWire’s own Anne Thompson has predicted, with her final Oscar picks, herself.
“Oppenheimer” has won top honors at the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards, BAFTAs, and Screen Actors Guild Awards. Surely Oscars domination is next, right? Some interesting questions remain, though: Who will take Best Actress? Lily Gladstone seems to have all the momentum, but there’s still a possibility Emma Stone could be a contender. Cillian Murphy seems all but a lock to win Best Actor for “Oppenheimer,” and yet there’s still the slightest chance Paul Giamatti might grab the statuette.
Review the full list of Oscar nominees below, in advance of the ceremony tonight.
