The Oscar race is on.
Renée Zellweger is a sure bet to snag a nomination for her transformation in “Judy” and Adam Driver looks certain to be a nominee for his work in Noah Baumbach’s “Marriage Story.” In the lead for best picture are movies including “The Irishman,” “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and “Parasite.”
Jennifer Lopez appears to be a lock to earn her first nomination for her work in “Hustlers.” Margot Robbie could be J. Lo’s competition twice with possible noms for the Aussie actor’s work in “Bombshell” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”
And then came “1917.” As soon as the Sam Mendes-directed WWI epic first screened for the media in New York on Nov. 23, it was hailed as this year’s big Oscar disrupter. Among the nominations it’s likely to receive are best picture, director and cinematography, among others.
We’ll be updating this list from time to time based on who’s on the rise and who’s losing steam.
