The Oscars are upon us.
The competition between “The Banshees of Inisherin,” “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” “Top Gun: Maverick,” “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Tár,” “Elvis,” “The Fabelmans,” “Triangle of Sadness,” “Women Talking” and more in categories other than Best Picture nominees will come to a head almost a year after the theatrical release of frontrunner “Everything Everywhere.”
Actors and actresses from these films as well as “Causeway,” “Blonde,” “To Leslie,” “The Whale,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and “Living” will compete in the acting categories, and many of those titles have nods in other categories as well.
