What will happen at the 2019 Oscars?

TThe Golden Globes Awards, BAFTA, SAG and Critics' Choice were all hailed, paving the way for Academy Awards Oscars … Oscars. The first ceremony in 30 years without a host, the Oscars first announced that Kevin Hart would be the master of ceremonies of the evening, before revealing recently that high-level presenters would be rather present in front of the show. But which of the stars this season is on track to win the three awards of the evening that make the most talk about him?

Best actress

Ding, Ding, Ding. It looks like it's Colman vs. Close for the 2019 season finale. They've both been winners of Best Actress at the Golden Globes – Glenn Close in the Drama category for her role in Wife and Olivia Colman in the Comedy category for her interpretation of Queen Anne in The favourite. The first triumphed at the SAG and the Critics' Choice Awards, while the latter took her home to the BAFTAs. Lady Gaga is currently the third favorite in the category and shares the choice of criticism with Close, but something that seems more secure for her wins again the award for the best original song for A star Is Born Shallow.

So, what could change the difference between worthy leaders? Close, who presented a surprisingly stimulating performance as a homemaker in Wife, already has six Oscar nominations to his credit. This is a clbadic starting point "always the candidate" who can play for the candidate (after all, because she Fatal Attraction and Dangerous Liaisons The legacy of not having a golden statuette seems a kind of parody for the Academy). Her speech of emotional acceptance to the Globes, in which she emphasized the importance for women of "personal fulfillment", was also a highlight of the season.

For her part, Colman's release as Queen Anne is simply and undeniably sensational and is the kind of tragi-comic role that women have not often had the opportunity to play on screen. His acceptance speeches were just as memorable: "We're spending an amazing night, is not it? We'll be so pissed off later!" she charmed the BAFTA crowd, after calling her co-stars Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone "my bitch" at an earlier date. It remains to be seen how it will behave on the other side of the pond, but in any case, a bright woman will carry it.

Best actor

The turning point of Christian Bale as former Vice President Dick Cheney in a biographical film Vice is one of the favorites for the best actor statuette. The academy has a transformative performance (the names of recent winners are Gary Oldman (Winston Churchill), Eddie Redmayne (Stephen Hawking), Daniel Day-Lewis (Abraham Lincoln), Jamie Foxx and Ray Charles). The film itself divides the opinions, but Bale has already won Best Actor awards at the Golden Globes (for film or comedy) and at the Critics' Choice Awards already this year. It would be his second Oscar win. In 2011, he won the award for Best Supporting Actor. The fighter

This is not a horse race, though. In fact, it's a difficult category to call. In a more surprising turn of events, Rami Malek could also be the champion, my friends, with his portrait of Freddie Mercury in Queen Biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, having already won the Golden Globes (Best Actor in a Drama), SAG Awards and BAFTA. The success of the film in the awards season (he also won the award for best film – Drama at the Globes) may have made the critics puzzled, but Malek as Mercury received higher praise.

Bradley Cooper, snubbed on the list of best director, was tipped at the beginning of the Oscars for Best Actor, but has fallen behind the two favorites in the category over the season. We are always sure to be standout A star is born moment in the ceremony, when he and Gaga occur Shallow on the scene.

Best film

Roma, the semi-autobiographical film written, shot and directed by Alfonso Cuarón took the lead for the last honor of the night. He has scored a victory hat trick of the best director for Cuarón at the Golden Globes, BAFTAs and Critics' Choice so far this year and he is the favorite to win again, just ahead of Spike Leigh for BlacKkKlansman and Yorgos Lanthimos for The favourite. Inspired by the director's own education in Mexico City in the 1970s, this magnificent black and white masterpiece should also win the award for best foreign language film, making it one of the movies the most recognized of this Academy Awards. On the other hand, it is a Netflix product, which could go against the very inappropriate traditional voting style within the Academy.

This is a strong list, with fierce competition from Green paper, who scored in the Golden Globe Comedy category and won many other honors. Or one of the most successful box-office films, if the prosperity of the rewards season prevailed at the last hurdle, Black Panther (the first superhero movie to receive an appointment in the prestigious category) to The favourite or A star is born? Unlikely, perhaps, but strange things happened at a ceremony that had announced the wrong winner two years ago in the last minutes. We will have to spend the night to see what the 2019 Academy Awards will bring.
