There may be a surprise this Sunday at the Oscars.
The race for the most coveted award in cinema began with The Power of the Dog as the big favorite with 12 nominations.
Things are not so clear when there are only a few hours left before the delivery gala begins, which this year returns to the famous Dolby Theater in Los Angeles after last year's gray ceremony at the city's train station.
The nuanced portrait of the masculine western world directed by New Zealander Jane Campion has lost momentum in recent days and now is the time for CODA, the drama of a deaf-mute family signed by the American Sian Heder, which begins to be repeated in the pools as the winner of the night.
The trail of ceremonies that precede the Oscar gala each year, which in 2022 reaches its 94th edition and will begin at 5:00 p.m.
00 this Sunday in Los Angeles (two in the morning on Monday in the Spanish peninsular time), they confirm what the different professional unions have in mind.
It will be a year of claims.
Will Smith, who has been nominated three times in the category of best actor, all three for playing real characters, is the favorite for his role as the father of tennis players Venus and Serena Williams in The Williams method.
Javier Bardem competes in this category, one of the four Spaniards who aspire to an award tonight, but who has a hard time winning his second statuette after having won in 2008 for his work in No Country for Old Men.

Do you remember last year's gala marked by the pandemic?
In audience, it hit rock bottom and did not even appear among the 100 most watched broadcasts of the year on American television.
It scored a minimum with 10.4 million viewers, losing more than half of its audience in just one year (it had added more than 23 in 2020).
It is possible that this year due to its own inertia, and because the gala recovers part of the glamor lost by the pandemic, they will rise to some point, although the galas have been declining in audience for years, and the films do not have as many audiences as before (although this trend is also repeated at the Emmys and the Grammys).
To boost the audience, ABC has pushed several changes such as leaving awards out that have caused some controversy among academics.
If all this goes on

One of the phenomena to follow tonight is
Encanto
, one of the most watched movies in parents' homes in recent months.
Disney claims that on average it has been seen for five months in each home and his
Bruno
is not spoken of is Disney's first number 1 on the Billboard music chart since
An Ideal World
of Aladdin.
That song, however, is not the one chosen by Disney as the nominee, but it will receive a special performance at today's gala with the entire cast present together with Luis Fonsi and Becky G. Sebastián Yatra will sing, for his part, the nominee
Dos Caterpillars
.

Among those who have walked the carpet there are already quite a few with details in support of Ukraine, such as blue and yellow dresses, ribbons in the colors of the invaded country's flag or pins and bows.
