The short gap between the Baftas and The Oscars this Year , has barely left, Joaquin Phoenix enough time to wash

The Joker star is a Hollywood actor, hot currently stops it from London to Los Angeles In Time for the Academy Awards on Sunday.

will be held ceremony in This Year , earlier than usual in an attempt to combat the case ratings. The whole series of other award ceremonies over several months was thought to be harmful to the interests of The Oscars , the brand for the completion of the awards season.

Oscar-ologists closely examination of nominations to the list for trends, patterns, quirks and clues about who could win what.

1. Scarlett Johansson has club a pretty exclusive.

you is only the 12th person to have two acting nominations in the same Year .

Johannson is nominated for The Best actress and best supporting actress for her performance in the Marriage Story , and Jojo Rabbit , respectively.

Scarlett Johansson in marriage-history (left) and Jojo Rabbit , The Other 11 persons have been already nominated twice in the categories at the Oscar ceremony include Sigourney Weaver (1989), Al Pacino (1993), Emma Thompson (in 1994), Jamie Foxx (2005) and, most recently, Cate Blanchett (2008).

But no One has ever won in both categories.

2. It's been 15 years since The Winner of The Best actress and best Picture were not in harmony.

Very rarely is The Winner as best actress, the stars, The Winner of best Picture - The Last One was done, was Hilary Swank in 2004's Million Dollar Baby.

This is unlikely to change this Year .

Renée Zellweger is the favorite for the victory as best actress for Judy, who is not nominated for best Film.

3. Cynthia Erivo was able to EGOT at the end with a massive.

In fact, when Harriet star to win an Oscar to go with her Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Awards in history.

The 33-Year -old, the transfer from the final stage of The Quad in 2018 at the age of 39 years.

Erivo has Night , two chances for an Oscar - because she is nominated for The Best actress and best original song (she co-Harriet wrote ' s anthemic original song Are. )

4. If Sam Mendes wins best Director, it will win the largest gap between the two Director in the Oscar history.

The newly knighted Sir Sam for The First time, won in 2000 for "American Beauty ", But could triumph again in the 2020 ceremony with its highly successful World War , An Epos of 1917 .

until now, Billy Wilder recorded the largest gap, won both of his best Director apart trophies 15 years, for The Lost weekend (1945) and The Apartment (1960).

5. There are a competitive pair in The Best Picture category.

Directors " Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach , are dating started in 2011 and have a child together, against each other for The Top prize.

Gerwig nomination for Little Women , and Baumbach is for marriage history you have to make The First -time Director pair go head-to-head race for The Best Film.

Laura Dern (right), stars in " Greta Gerwig , Little Women , and Noah Baumbach 's the marriage of history, This happened almost in the Year 2009, when James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow both films were nominated, But they had divorced some 18 years earlier.

Gerwig and Baumbach nominated in different categories for writing (best adapted screenplay and original screenplay called), so that at least a little relieved, the tension on the dishwasher.

Coincidentally, they are both Dern movies-star Laura, who is nominated for best supporting actress.

6. Having said that, Little Women , and the marriage history are both long shots for The Top prize.

This is, in part, to attract because it is unusual for a film, The Best Picture without a nomination for best Director, which have neither Gerwig nor Baumbach.

It is not impossible, But .

Last Year , Green Book , is a triumph, without a Director nod for Peter Farrelly . Before that 2013 was the Argo, The Last to win without a nomination for its Director Ben Affleck .

7. Toy Story 4 could better absorb The Oscars , it set with Toy Story 3.

the award for The Best animated film was introduced in the Year 2001, and since then it has gained only a continuation of Toy Story 3.

So, a victory for Toy Story 4 it would be a series to win not only the second Sequel to The Best animated feature, But to win the second, in the context of his own film.

8. Parasite has already broken a record and it could break if it wins.

It is The First Korean film to receive The Best Picture nomination, and only The Sixth film to be nominated for The Best Picture and the international feature film.

That the list of previous double-nominees includes last Year 's Roma, in 2012, Amour, and 2000 Crouching Tiger , Hidden Dragon.

9. Jonathan Pryce brings a dose of reality for best actor.

The Two popes star is the only nominee in the category who plays a real-life Figure of Pope Francis .

The Other , Leonardo Dicaprio , Antonio Banderas , Adam Driver and Joaquin Phoenix , to describe the characters are all fictional.

(Granted, Pedro Almodóvar, the Director, the character, played by Banderas in Pain & Glory. )

There is more reality in the category of best actress - Renée Zellweger, Judy Garland , Cynthia Erivo plays portrayed anti-slavery activist Harriet Tubman , and Charlize Theron plays Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly .

10. Magazines the breeding ground for movie ideas.

Two of this Year 's awards-season hopefuls have been based on a magazine article.

A Beautiful Day in The Neighborhood , it was inspired by the journalist Tom Junod , who has a profile interview with The Children 's entertainer Fred Rogers .

hustlers, was, in the meantime, on the basis of Jessica Pressler .

Although both films have been nominated for over awards season, including at the Golden Globes, unfortunately, just a Beautiful Day registered on The Academy 's radar.

Jennifer Lopez , points out will leave to a future movie to her first Oscar nomination.

Jennifer Lopez (the star in Hustlers) and Tom Hanks (in A Beautiful Day in The Neighborhood ) 11. The average age of Supporting Actor nominees 71.

This is considerably older in this Year , as the average age of all previous winners in this category

This Time around, Brad Pitt is the youngest of the 56 nominated alongside Tom Hanks (63), Joe Pesci (76), Al Pacino (79) and Sir Anthony Hopkins (82).

it's been a while, it is perhaps not surprising that all five of these greedy an Oscar Pitt came guts as a producer on 12 years A slave, while The Other won for acting.

12. Birdman could be used as a benchmark for 1917 .

Oscar-experts keep a watchful eye on The Best cut every Year , because it can attract a strong correlation between a nomination in this category, and ultimately best Picture .

It is remarkable, therefore, that in 1917 , the dynamics for The Top prize, despite the lack of an editing nomination.

Just a movie since 1980 has won best Picture without a best Film Editing is strong, the was 2014, the Birdman.

Interestingly, Birdman and, in 1917 , already have something in Common - both movies were to appear. Neither actually were, which, ironically, shows how the clever editing must have been.

in 1917 , won two Golden Globes for best drama film and best Director for Sam Mendes 13. Ford v Ferrari is The First Motorsport-film to get a best Picture nomination.

This might not sound particularly interesting, But there are a surprisingly large number of racing movies that may have missed it in The Past - like Rush, Grand Prix and days of thunder.

Senna would not have been considered for best Picture , as it would have been for The Best documentary, But it was not even nominated.

Ford v-Ferrari (what is nominated is entitled to Le Mans '66 in some countries), But it is highly unlikely to win.

"It's a tough competition, But the tough competition is what's going on in the Film at all. "

14. Netflix doubled your chances of winning, best Film of this Year .

The streaming service all pinned his hopes (and money) on Roma in 2019, the election campaign hard for The Best Picture win, which eventually went to Green Book .

far more films scheduled for the awards season this Year , as The King , Dolemite Is My Name, The Two popes and Laundry room (a movie about the, the less, the better).

Dolemite Is My Name, with Eddie Murphy , was One of Netflix, the great hopes in this Year 's award-nominated, But two of their films, the Irish and The marriage history, for the main.

It may well be that The Academy is not yet ready to allow to win, a streaming service The Best image. But if Netflix can win the title, you would think it would be a Martin Scorsese gangster movie with Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci .

15. Neither of the two favorites for best Picture nominations in the acting categories.

This can make it perceived to parasites, as a film with an ensemble cast, where no performance is excellent for a main actor category.

film, the oscars
