This year the work is cut out for the jury members as some stellar performances and acclaimed films are in contention for the coveted golden statuette. Joaquin Pheonix’s Joker, Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Sam Mendes’ 1917 and several others are vying for top awards.
Other biggies who are in the race and might displace the favourites are Christian Bale’s and Matt Damon’s Ford v Ferrari, Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit, Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, Scarlett Johansson’s and Adam Driver’s Marriage Story and Korean drama Parasite which is also nominated in the Best Picture category as well as Best International Feature Film category. It is directed by Bong Joon-Ho and has already lapped up praise and accolades.
