The films best positioned to receive multiple nominations are ”Oppenheimer” and ”Barbie”which have been sweeping the awards season, such as, for example, in the Golden Globes. Furthermore, it is almost certain that we will find among the nominees for ‘‘The Moon Killers’ and ”Poor Creatures”.

They could join ”The Color Purple’‘, ”Air” and, as a surprise, the film by Jacob Elordi and Barry Keoghan, ”Saltburn”.

Following logic, the nominees for best director would come from one of these films. The most likely options? Jonathan Glazer (The Zone of Interest), Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Creatures), Christopher Nolan (Oppenheimer), Alexander Payne (The Holdovers) and Martin Scorsese (The Moon Killers). The French could enter the category Justin Triet (Anatomy of a Fall) and Greta Gerwig (Barbie).
Moving on to the actors and actresses, we could find Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer), Bradley Cooper (Teacher), Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers), Jeffrey Wright (American Fiction) and Colman Domingo (Rustin), the great unknown being whether or not he will be Leonardo Dicaprio (The Moon Killers).

As for supporting actors, it wouldn’t be unusual to see Robert DeNiro (The Moon Killers), Robert Downey Jr. (Oppenheimer) and Ryan Gosling (Barbie). From here, a range of possibilities opens up: Sterling K. Brown (American Fiction), Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers), Charles Melton (May December) and two actors from ”Poor Creatures”, Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe.
In the supporting actress category, things would be clearer, since Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer), Danielle Brooks (The Color Purple), Jodie Foster (Nyad) and Da’Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers) would be a fixture, and fifth place could be occupied by Julianne Moore (May December) and by Sandra Huller (The Zone of Interest), who could be nominated in both this category and best actress, at the same time.
