The 96th Academy Awards are fast approaching, celebrating the best films of 2023. Last year, the gonzo action-comedy Everything Everywhere All at Once was the Oscar's big winner, taking home Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, and Best Picture. Could any film this year achieve such a feat?

Some of the major contenders in 2024 are Barbie, Oppenheimer, Killers of the Flower Moon, Poor Things, The Holdovers, and Maestro, which scored nominations in major categories including Best Picture.

In a year full of outstanding cinema, these have been the big players across the Critics Choice Awards, the SAG Awards, and the Golden Globes. But smaller yet critically revered movies like Past Lives, Anatomy of a Fall, and American Fiction have earned some big nominations as well. Still, it's hard to say who might come out on top on Oscar night. While the nominations are decided by specific guilds — actors nominate actors, editors nominate editors — the whole of the Academy votes for the winners. So, could this still be anyone's game?
