Experts, in particular the respected publication “The Hollywood Reporter”, among the main applicants in the “ Best Film nomination” called the gangster drama Martin Skorsze Irishman, British-American military fresco “1917” Sam Mendes, South Korean satirical drama - The comedy “Parasites”, shot by the director Pon Jun Ho, and the free interpretation of the tragic events “Once in ... Hollywood” Quentin Tarantino.
And the fact that they added “marriage story”, “Ford against Ferrari”, “Little Women” and “Rabbit Jojo” is unlikely to change the alignment.
The same Martin Skorsze ( “Irishman” ), Todd Phillips ( Joker ), Sam Mandes ( 1917 ), Quentin Tarantino ( “Once ... in Hollywood” ), Pon Zju Ho ( Parasites ) will compete for the best director.
"Irishman"
The story of the memoirs of a tributor driver, who has connected with the mafia and turned into a professional killer, is already available on Netflix. The film was shot based on "I heard you paint at home" Charles Brandt. In the lead roles, eminent veterans, favorite Scorsese: Robert de Niro, Al Pachino and Joe Pesha.
"Parasites"
Virtuoso tragifars “Parasites” about how the family of the poor penetrates the cunning into a rich family as a service service, has already been awarded a Cannes palm branch. The film claims to both the “best foreign film”, and he will probably receive it.
"Once in ... Hollywood"
“Once in ... Hollywood” with his meticulous and at the same time fantasy reconstruction of the 1960s, the narrative of the virabs of the famous actor (DiCaprio) and his Dubler (Brad Pitt). But first of all, the film is nostalgia for Hollywood, which is no longer there.

"1917"
In 1917, Mendes talks about the fate of two young soldiers of the First World War, on whom the lives of their associates depend. Critics praised the picture immediately after its release. The film will be released on Russian screens on January 30.
"Joker"
Of course, in the list for the title of the best film and Joker . But it is interesting with him.
Until recently, Todd Phillips had high chances of victory. However, on the recent Golden Globe, which is called Oscar's general rehearsal, he was bypassed by the drama of 1917. And again, the scales swayed towards those who admired some and outraged other stories of the revolutionary madman. Joker has the largest number of nominations (in 11 categories). For Phillips, his film is not about graphic villains, but about the transformation of a person into a Joker.
Now it all depends on the choice and priorities of academics.

The main contender for the title of “ Best Actor of the First Plan ” naturally was Joaquin Phoenix (“Joker”).
This year there are many excellent acting work. The incredible Antonio Banderas in the role of alter ego almodovar in his psychological drama “Pain and Glory” . An unexpected subtle and complex image of a person who loses his love was created by Adam Driver in the “marriage story” . Leonardo DiCaprio is good in the tragicomic role of the actor, whose glory is poured like sand in the sand clock ( "Once in ... in ... Gollywood" ). Jonathan Price ( “Two Dads” ), as the leader of the Catholic Church, brilliantly balances between the drama and the comedy.
The first place in the list of applicants for Oscar in the nomination “ The Best Actress of the First Plan ” confidently occupies Renee Zeleveger, who played the main role in the British melodrama of “Judy” Rupert Gulda dedicated to Judy Garland.
You can congratulate Daria Kashcheeva. Her animated film "Daughter" is in the category "Best Short Film" .
"Daughter"
She took it off in Prague, where she studies at the Academy of Arts (FAMU). The film has already received Student Academy Awards. This is the story of the relationship between the daughter and the father.
The grown daughter (in the film dolls seemed to be from papier-mash) in the hospital ward of a dying father recalls how hard he was he was, and how happiness was a little bird to freeze on his chest.
The films of Kantemir Balagova (“ Dylda ”), Konstantin Bronzita (“ He cannot live without space ”) and Viktor Kosakovsky (“ Watercolor ”) who fell into a short list are not included in the list of Oscar nominees. And this in no way indicates that they are worse than "included"
The winners will be awarded the award on February 9 at the 92nd Oscar presentation in Los Angeles.
