Together with the Oscars right around the corner, it’s time to take a look at which movies have the best shot of winning Best Picture. This is formally the most unpredictable awards race in recent memory. From the a variety of industry guilds, no movie won several top prizes for the first time in history.

It genuinely is anybody’s ballgame, which adds an element of intrigue. In certain ways, it is more interesting this way than at a usual year when one or two frontrunners emerge far ahead of the bunch.

Ironically, nearly all of its notable wins would be for Cuar??n’s leadership, but Roma was also received Best Picture at the Critics’ Choice Awards and the BAFTAs. This is a film that just about everyone agrees is exceptionally crafted and well-acted, meaning it ought to succeed on the preferential ballot. Academy members have enormous regard for Cuar??n, and Roma’s pair of acting nominations imply it struck a chord with the actors division – the biggest Academy branch there is.
