What are the big candidates for the 2019 Oscar

Whenever it takes less for the 2019 Oscars ceremony. The wait from one minute to the next grows up for the big night. A few hours after the ceremony, a star was born, Roma and La Favorita are becoming candidates for recognition in the main categories.

Rome is the movie that everyone is talking about. The film Alfonso Cuarón allows Netflix to have for the first time a privileged place at the gala. This year, the streaming platform has won nominations in the main categories, among which are the best director, the best actress (for Yalitza Aparicio), the best actress in a supporting role (for Marina de Tavira) and the best movie. In addition, the road to the Oscars has won major awards: a Golden Globe for the best non-English language film, the Goya for Best Ibero-American Film, the Critic's Choice Award for Best Film and the BAFTA for the best film, among other awards. .

The peculiarity of Rome is that to date no film nominated for the best foreign film and the best film has managed to keep this last statuette. For this reason, the feature film by the prestigious Mexican director could do the story twice. On the one hand, this would be the first time that the film industry would give way to the huge growth of Netflix and, on the other hand, it would be a surprise if you get an Oscar in these two categories.

The favorite film with Rome, with ten citations, is the one with more Oscar nominations for 2019. The comedy of Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos has been very well received by the public and by critics. With a great staging work (it takes place in the eighteenth century in England), an impeccable screenplay with touches of black humor, prepared by Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara, and a strict care in photography, of Robbie Ryan, could be dedicated – as his name indicates, as a favorite in the most desired categories.

In her pre-Oscar tour, La Favorita received the BAFTA Award for Best British Film, Golden Globe (for Olivia Colman) for best comic or musical actress, and the Critics Choice Award for Best Ensemble. acting, among other rewards. Thus, Yorgos – one of the Hollywood directors' favorite directors – is competing to achieve his first Oscar and the experts nominate him as a candidate.

A star Is Born. The season of rewards started with great momentum, but over the months, its strength has been diluted. Whatever the case may be, this remake of the film released in 1937 on the big screen, with the protagonists of Fredric March and Janey Ganor, is likely to win at the 2019 Oscar Gala mainly for the magnetism of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. His performance with Shallow, one of the film's most iconic themes, was as high as the versions previously directed by Judy Garland and James Mason in 1954, and Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson in 1976.
