four big favorites for the 95th ceremony

For the 95th Academy Awards, Monday March 13, four films stand out and are the big favorites of the competition. “Everything, Everywhere, All at Once“, “The Banshees of Inisherin“, “In the west, nothing is new” And “Elvis” are therefore expected. The first city stands out from the crowd. The fantastic comedy by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert is in the running in 11 categories. For a few weeks, the Hollywood press has been predicting a raid of trophies for this unexpected success at the box office.

A German film to surprise?

But the German film produced by Netflix, “In the west, nothing is new“, could create a surprise. It is nominated in 9 categories and could be named best film and best international film at the same time, as was the case for the South Korean film “Parasite” in 2020. The Oscar for best actor should be disputed between the favorite, Austin Butler, for his incarnation of Elvis Presley, and the outsider Brendan Fraser, for “The Whale“.
