The 2024 Oscar results are too predictable.

Compared to previous years, the 2024 Oscar season is considered to be not difficult to predict. The biographical film Oppenheimer is currently leading with 13 nominations, followed by Poor Things (12 nominations) and Killers of the Flower Moon (11) .

The majority of critics and audiences believe that director Christopher Nolan's film will sweep the major categories such as Best Picture , Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, etc. The filmmaker also has a strong chance of being honored with the Best Director award.

Oppenheimer is a "workhorse".

The list of 10 nominees for Best Picture at the 2024 Oscars is quite diverse in content and themes, ranging from comedy and romance to biographies and fantasy…

Among them, Barbie was the most commercially successful film. Director Greta Gerwig's project became a sensation, grossing over $1.4 billion worldwide and generating a very positive media buzz.

However, the film's chances of winning an Oscar are not high because it is at a disadvantage compared to its competitors in terms of award achievements.

Meanwhile, some films that were highly rated for their quality failed to attract a large audience. For example, American Fiction only grossed over $22 million, and Maestro also failed commercially, earning less than $1 million.

An interesting contender is Anatomy of a Fall from French cinema, which has won the Palme d'Or and the Golden Globe ( Best Foreign Language Film ). However, at the 2024 Oscars, the film is expected to win Best Original Screenplay rather than Best Picture .

Outperforming its rivals, Oppenheimer received widespread support from both audiences and critics. Most major publications, such as the New York Times , Guardian , and Variety , predicted the film would win the most important category.

This biographical film recounts the life of Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, the inventor of the atomic bomb. From the moment its production was announced, the project garnered attention with its $100 million budget and A-list cast including Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., and Matt Damon.

Christopher Nolan's film strikes a good balance between artistic merit and commercial success. Not only was it well-received by critics, but it was also a huge box office hit, grossing over $960 million worldwide.

Christopher Nolan is predicted to surpass the legendary Martin Scorsese to win his first Oscar. If he is honored, his position in Hollywood will be solidified more than ever.

The blockbuster film Oppenheimer has the potential to bring Christopher Nolan his first Oscar.

The acting category is less exciting.

Along with the appeal of Oppenheimer, Cillian Murphy is a strong contender for the Best Actor award.

The Irish actor was virtually unopposed, as the other nominated actors were not as prominent.

The role in Oppenheimer was tailor-made for him by Christopher Nolan. According to the director, Cillian Murphy was the only choice for the character. He wrote the script with the actor in mind. The two are also close collaborators on many projects, so they worked together very well this time.

Actor Bradley Cooper continues to receive Oscar nominations for acting, bringing his total career nominations to 12. However, Cooper's chances of winning are very low because his role is considered to lack originality.

Additionally, some expressed regret that Leonardo DiCaprio was completely overlooked by the Oscars. His performance in Killers of the Flower Moon showcased significant acting effort, deserving a nomination and standing alongside his peers.

This year's Best Actress award is expected to be a head-to-head battle between two actresses: Emma Stone and Lily Gladstone.

In particular, Emma Stone received a "shower" of praise for her role as a woman with a childlike brain in Poor Things. The actress had the opportunity to showcase many techniques, showing that she has taken a new step forward in her career.

Emma Stone and Lily Gladstone are competing for the Best Actress award.

In contrast, Lily Gladstone also delivered an emotionally rich performance as the Native American wife in Killers of the Flower Moon . She scored points with her introspective acting, showing the audience the character's pain.

Most publications predict Lily Gladstone will win. Her chances are even higher because she just won a SAG (Screen Actors Guild) award, and she will also generate significant media attention.

Furthermore, the Academy will not favor actresses who have won Oscars before. Therefore, it is highly likely that Emma Stone will go home empty-handed, similar to her colleague Cate Blanchett last year.

In the Best Supporting Actor category, Robert Downey Jr. ( Oppenheimer ) has a strong chance of winning his first Oscar for acting. As for the Best Supporting Actress category, Da'Vine Joy Randolph is predicted to win for her impressive performance in The Holdovers .

Overall, the categories for the 2024 Oscars aren't particularly close because there's always a clear contender who stands out from the rest, making the results more predictable.

However, many viewers are still looking forward to the awards ceremony to see which names will be called in categories such as animated film or foreign film…
