We’ve already kicked things off with the Golden Globes, while the Baftas, Critics’ Choice Awards and SAG Awards are all still looming.
But it’s time to get ready for the biggie. Yes, Oscars season has officially started.
On Thursday afternoon, the contenders for the biggest night in cinema were announced, recognising achievements in film from across the last 12 months (nominees were initially supposed to be revealed earlier in the month, but the ceremony was pushed back on two occasions due to the ongoing fires in California).
As has been the case throughout awards season, it’s the divisive Netflix musical Emilia Pérez leading the way, with a whopping 13 nominations (only one short of the joint record for most ever, currently held by Titanic, The Artist and La La Land).
Behind them on 10 nominations is Wicked, while The Brutalist is on nine, Conclave and A Complete Unknown are on eight, and The Substance and Dune: Part Two each have five.
Here’s the full list of films, actors and big names from the world of cinema that are in the running this year...
