ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT

GERMAN ANTI-WAR EPIC This film (below) is the third adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque’s anti-war novel, and it’s up for nine Oscars. The first movie won two in 1930. Netflix

BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER MARVEL SEQUEL

Angela Bassett gave a powerful performance as the grieving queen (main, left) in this Black Panther sequel — the first Marvel actor to pick up a nomination. She was last nominated in 1994 for What’s Love Got To Do With It. Disney+

BLONDE

SEARING LIFE OF A STAR

This fictional take on the life of Marilyn Monroe was divisive, but one thing was clear — its star Ana de Armas (main, centre) gave it her all, and she’s up for Best Actress as a result. Netflix

CAUSEWAY

AN UNUSUAL FRIENDSHIP Apple won Best Picture with Coda in 2022, but the tech company’s sole nomination in 2023 comes for Bullet Train’s Brian Tyree Henry. He co-stars with Jennifer Lawrence in an indie-style tale of two people looking for a real connection. Apple TV+

ELVIS

STORY OF THE KING

Baz Luhrmann’s showy biopic has looked like an Oscar contender ever since it hit cinemas in June, and has eight nominations in the bag. Elvis’s late daughter,

Lisa Marie, was hugely complimentary about

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE FRENETIC SCI-FI THRILLER

This dizzying mix of family drama and parallel universe action took cinemas by storm in 2022, and leads the field with 11 nods. Amazon Prime Video

GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY GLAMOROUS WHODUNNIT

It’s the intricacies of the mystery that dazzle you here, fun as it is watching Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc (main, right) stride around solving it. So, it’s right that writer Rian Johnson is nominated for his clever screenplay. Netflix

MRS HARRIS GOES TO PARIS 1950s FASHION ESCAPADE

Costume designer Jenny Beavan (A Room With A View, Cruella) is up for her fourth Oscar with this utterly charming story of a war widow (Lesley Manville) who stumbles into the world of Dior. Rent on Sky

TáR

PORTRAIT OF A GENIUS

Well-acted dramas about fiery geniuses often do well at the Oscars — Whiplash is just one example — and this searing character study, starring Cate Blanchett as a monstrous conductor, is likely to be no exception. It’s up for six awards including Best Actress, but has attracted controversy for being misogynistic, which could derail its chances.

Rent on Sky from Monday

TO LESLIE

GRITTY DOMESTIC DRAMA

Andrea Riseborough’s Best Actress nomination was the biggest surprise of this year’s Oscar list. The Amsterdam star is on chameleonic form as an alcoholic single mum in a small film that few knew existed before the news broke.

Rent on Apple TV

TOP GUN: MAVERICK

HIGH-FLYING SEQUEL

Tom Cruise didn’t get an acting nod, but his blockbuster sequel did — for Best Picture and in five more categories, most of them technical. Some have been sniffy about Maverick’s inclusion but, like Avatar: The Way Of Water, currently in cinemas and up for four Oscars, this film is one of the best of its kind. It’s also no mean feat that, between them, these two blockbusters pulled in close to €3.5billion at the box office. Popularity counts for something.

Paramount+, Sky/Now

THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN TWISTY DARK TRAGICOMEDY

Colin Farrell (below) and Brendan Gleeson are both nominated for this surreal and darkly hilarious tale of a broken friendship on an Irish island. Banshees has nine nominations, which puts it equal second on the overall table along with All Quiet
