That uncertain state of the movies seemed to be reflected in the nominations, which were spread across films both widely seen and little noticed, theatrically released and predominantly streaming. Several movies that studios and streamers had declined to release – including The Apprentice and the Israeli-Palestinian documentary No Other Land, which still lacks a distributor – were vindicated with nominations.
But unlike last year, when Hollywood rallied around the success of Oppenheimer, this year offered up no clear frontrunner for the industry’s top honor. With five weeks to go until the Oscar ceremony, at least four or five movies – including The Brutalist, Emilia Pérez, Anora, Conclave and Wicked – are seen having a shot at best picture.
