Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture
This family is the easiest one to call since there ’s been a exculpated frontrunner since the start of awards time of year . Kieran Culkin seems destine to win every supporting family this yr on his way to the Oscars .

Who should get ahead : Yura Borisov – AnoraWho will get ahead : Kieran Culkin – A Real Pain
Best Performance by an Actress in a plunk for Role in Any Motion Picture
Like Erivo , Ariana Grande has become a legitimate contender thanks toWicked’sstrong boxful - office success and word - of - lip . Margaret Qualley advance here would be very coolheaded . Yet , once Netflix decided Zoe Saldaña would run in the supporting actegory , it ’s been her award to miss .

AnoraandConclaveare the frontrunners in the screenplay class . This feels like an “ it ’s time ” profits for Baker , a well - respected self-governing movie maker , as well as forAnora , the doomed erotic love news report that coalesce the romance ofPretty Womanwith the anxiousness ofUncut Gems .
What should win : AnoraWhat will win : Anora
Best Original Score – Motion Picture
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross made the most infective scotch all year withChallengers . It ’s banger after firecracker , specially on the lawn tennis court . While a Reznor and Ross winnings would be amazing , Daniel Blumberg ’s musical score toThe Brutalistis arguably the most integral aspect of that movie ’s success . The epic does n’t sour as well if Blumberg ’s score was n’t there .
What should gain : ChallengersWhat will gain ground : The Brutalist
Best Original Song – Motion Picture
ceremonious wisdom say to take the song from a musical . El Malis more of an hymn thanMi Camino , throw it a tenuous bound . However , Kiss the Skyby Maren Morris could pull the upset .
