The 95th Academy Awards are nearly here. Here's a look at who's expected to win in major categories.
Ahead of the 95th Academy Awards on March 12, Associated Press Film Writers Lindsey Bahr and Jake Coyle share their predictions for a ceremony with some sure things and some major question marks.
BEST ACTRESSNominees: Ana de Armas,"Blonde"; Cate Blanchett,"Tár"; Andrea Riseborough,"To Leslie"; Michelle Williams,"The Fabelmans"; Michelle Yeoh,"Everything Everywhere All at Once." COYLE: The only thing I feel sure of in this category is that I've started to feel a little bad for Austin Butler. All the he's-still-talking-like-Elvis jokes were fun at first, but now I'm worried an appealing young actor is going to get permanently typecast. Butler could very well win, though. And Farrell might even be able to pull off an upset with the much-loved"The Banshees of Inisherin." But I'm leaning toward Fraser here, after his SAG win.
COYLE: This had been Bassett's all the way before Curtis, Nepo baby supreme, had her magnificent moment at the SAGs. But I'm going to stick with Bassett. It could be that academy members just can't bring themselves to vote for a Marvel movie role. But Bassett gave such a powerhouse performance in"Wakanda Forever" and is overdue for her Oscar moment.
BEST DIRECTORNominees:"Martin McDonagh,"The Banshees of Inisherin"; Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert,"Everything Everywhere All at Once"; Steven Spielberg,"The Fabelmans"; Todd Field,"Tár"; Ruben Östlund,"Triangle of Sadness." COYLE: I'm still smarting a little that Margaret Brown's"Descendant," a living oral history of a documentary, didn't make it into this field. But it's a strong group, including the tenderly lyrical"All That Breathes" and the smoldering romance of"Fire of Love.
