The Oscars 2024 predictions are well underway, with the official nominees list coming this January. 2023 was the year of Barbenheimer, with the two opposing giants—Greta Gerwig's Barbie Wonderland and the darker, epic Oppenheimer—causing a cultural phenomenon and record-breaking viewing stats. But there are some other weighty predictions for Best Picture, with Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon the current favourite. Poor Things is also quietly becoming a stealthy contender, tipped as a dark horse by critics for Best Picture and Best Actress for Emma Stone at the awards.
At the 2023 Oscars, Everything Everywhere All at Once scooped Best Picture as well as six other prestigious accolades including Best Actress for Michelle Yeoh. But it's looking less likely that one film could dominate as much this year, with other big contenders like Bradley Cooper's Maestro, indie favourite Past Lives and dark comedy American Fiction all tipped for Oscars success.
