In Hollywood it could be the year of "Once upon a time ... in Hollywood" . But also the revenge of " The Irishman" by Martin Scorsese for Netflix snubbed by the Golden Globes, or the revenge of the "Joker" after the controversy following the release of the Todd Phillips movie inspired by DC Comics and awarded in Venice.

The race for the Oscars comes to life when the Academy announces nominations for the 24 prizes to be won on 9 February today in the early afternoon.

Many competitors with pedigree, but a clear frontrunner is missing this year. "Parasite" by Bong Joon Ho could make history not only as the first South Korean film nominated for the best foreign film, but also as the best film. The tributes to diversity, in the predictions of the eve, are moreover desired: in a year in which female directors have produced excellent films , the category of the best director will probably be a five all male ( Pedro Almodovar for 'Pain and Glory', Bong Joon Ho, Sam Mendes for '1917', Scorsese and Tarantino ) while, after the twenty Bafta nominations in London went to white actors, the Oscar rose will probably also be just as monochromatic.

Up to ten nominations are available in the best film category: in addition to Netflix's " The Irishman " and " Marriage story ", " Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ", " The Joker " and " Parasite ", eligible candidates include " 1917 " (who surprisingly won the Golden Globe), " Jojo Rabbit ", " Little Women ", " Marriage story ", " Ford vs Ferrari " and " Knives Out ", all winners of PGA, the producers' association. To weaken the Netflix films, in this and other categories, is the opinion of many jurors, Steven Spielberg in the lead, according to which the streaming giant should not participate in the Oscars after having made a stop of a few days only in the halls of its productions that include, among the eligible candidates, also "I due Papi" and " Dolemite is My Name ".

Almost all white the five best actresses, according to the predictions of the eve: the rose could include Renée Zellweger (Judy Garland in "Judy") , Saoirse Ronan (Jo of "Little Women" ), Charlize Theron ("Bombshell" ) and Scarlett Joahnnson ("Marriage Story" ), with Awkwafina (Golden Globe for "The Farewell" ), Cynthia Erivo ("Harriet" ), Lupita Nyong'o ("Us" ), Alfre Woodard ("Clemency" ) to compete for the fifth nomination .

Adam Driver ("Marriage Story") competing with Leonardo DiCaprio ("Once upon a time in ... Hollywood") , Taron Egerton ("Rocketman") , Antonio Banderas ("Pain and Glory ") and Joaquin Phoenix (" Joker " ). Maybe Robert De Niro after being snubbed not only by the Globes, by the SAG nominations), but his could be the surprise.
