Meanwhile, some films are highly rated for their quality but do not create strong appeal to the general audience. For example:American Fictionjust over $22 million, orMaestroalso failed commercially, grossing less than $1 million.

Less dramatic acting category

Along with the attraction ofOppenheimer,Cillian Murphy is a highly regarded face for the category.Excellent male lead.

The Irish actor has almost no competition as the other nominated actors are not as prominent.

Role inOppenheimerwas “tailored” for him by Christopher Nolan. According to the director, Cillian Murphy was the only choice for the character. He wrote the script with the actor in mind. The two have also been close collaborators on many projects, so this time they worked together quite well.

Actor Bradley Cooper continues to receive an Oscar nomination for acting, bringing the total number of nominations received in his career to 12. However, the possibility of Cooper winning is very low because the role is considered to lack new elements.

In addition, some opinions regret that Leonardo Di Caprio was completely ignored by the Oscars. His role inKillers of the Flower Moonshows a lot of effort in acting of the actor, worthy of a nomination and standing next to his colleagues.

CategoryBest ActressThis year is said to be a duel between two actors: Emma Stone and Lily Gladstone.

Among them, Emma Stone received a "shower" of compliments for her role as a woman with a child's brain inPoor Things.The actress had the opportunity to show off many techniques, showing that she has advanced to a new level in her career.

On the contrary, Lily Gladstone also gave an emotional performance as the Indian wife inKillers of the Flower MoonShe scored points with her inner acting, letting the audience see the character's pain.

Most sites predict Lily Gladstone will win. The chances are higher because she just won a SAG (Screen Actors Guild) award, and at the same time will create a media element.

Furthermore, the Academy will not favor actresses who have won an Oscar before. So it is likely that Emma Stone will go home empty-handed, similar to her colleague Cate Blanchett last year.

In categoryBest Supporting Actor,Robert Downey Jr (Oppenheimer) has many opportunities to receive the first Oscar for acting. And the categoryExcellent supporting actress,Da'Vine Joy Randolph is predicted to win for her impressive role inThe Holdovers.

Overall, the 2024 Oscar categories are not really exciting because there are always candidates who stand out from the others, making the results more predictable.

However, many viewers still look forward to the awards ceremony to see which names will be called in categories such as animation or foreign film...
