The 96th Oscars will be held on March 10, 2024. According to reports, the nominations will be revealed on January 24, 2024. Therefore, here’s a list of Oscar 2024 Predictions.
It’s not clear yet which movies will get one of the few spots in each award category, but there have already been some big movies released this year and the Cannes Film Festival, so there are already some movies that sound like they could be nominated, and some people even think they could win all of the awards.
Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, and Ridley Scott are in the lead because they have already released or are about to release strong and impactful historical films this year. However, Wes Anderson and Yorgos Lanthimos are also in the running with movies like Asteroid City and Poor Things.
Pixar and Sony are likely to fight in the animated feature category, since both Elements and Spider-Man: Across the Spider Verse did well at the box office and had important, moving stories and animation styles.
