Who will be nominated for this year's Oscars? Well, the nominations for the 96th Academy Awards are being announced Thursday, January 23 in Hollywood, and after a long campaign–and a slight delay because of the wildfires–there are a few films guaranteed to be in the mix.
From The Brutalist to Wicked, there are some movies that have picked up so many awards this season that it would be a shock if they weren't among the nominations announced. That said, there isn't really a frontrunner, so there are bound to be some surprises.
Here are my educated guesses–after chatting with a ton of the potential nominees on the Parting Shot podcast–on who will be nominated for the major categories at the Academy Awards this year. Click here for the full list.
Expect The Brutalist, Conclave, Wicked and Emilia Pérez to dominate in most categories. The two most exciting categories are Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress because they're so up in the air, so if you're looking for surprises, watch those two races. The other thing to look out for is all the love The Substance is bound to get. Demi Moore is having a moment and that excitement for her and the film will likely spill over into other categories, including Best Picture.
Of course, we'll be going over all the nominations this Friday! In the meantime, keep scrolling for more entertainment news. Have a great one!
