Best Picture Battle: Six Movies Have a Narrow Path to Winning, From ‘A Complete Unknown’ to ‘The Brutalist’


Six movies can win Oscars' best picture prize: "Anora," "The Brutalist," "Conclave," "A Complete Unknown" "Emilia Perez" and "Wicked" - but which one?

After winning big at the Golden Globes, “Emilia Pérez” could achieve victory for the streamer with the same category haul — supporting actress (Zoe Saldaña), international feature, original song and best picture. Best picture is often about the most “liked” film, not necessarily the “best.” Past epics like Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog” and Alfonso Cuarón’s “Roma” dominated at BAFTA and DGA but stumbled under the Oscars ’ preferential ballot system. In addition to star Timothée Chalamet ‘s successful hosting (and musical) stint on “Saturday Night Live,” the movie could achieve what “1917” (2019) failed to do against “Parasite” — drop into the race at the last minute — and win it all.
