Greatest image is seen as vast open this 12 months, with a number of movies which might feasibly take the highest prize.

Following the Oscar nominations, Conclave is arguably barely weaker than was beforehand thought, having missed a greatest director nomination for Edward Berger.

Emilia Pérez may need essentially the most nominations, and it’s definitely a contender, but it surely’s a divisive movie which has nearly as many detractors as followers, which might hurt its probabilities.

Maybe one of many strongest contenders is The Brutalist, which received into just about each main class it was anticipated to and has had a robust displaying at different ceremonies. It’s stronger after the Oscar nominations.

However do not depend out Anora. It received the highest prize on the Cannes Movie Competition final 12 months, and though it has struggled to choose up wins elsewhere, it has such vast assist that it may gain advantage from the preferential poll system.

In greatest image, voters rank the movies so as of choice, which suggests a broadly favored movie which picks up numerous second and third placements can have a greater likelihood of successful than a movie with a smaller quantity of people that put it in first place.
