Cliffhangers, slam dunks and dark horses at Sunday's Oscars Oscars2020
Hollywood’s awards season reaches its climax at Sunday’s Oscars, with a cliffhanger over the top prize after a season marked by dark horses, renewed anguish over diversity, and a South Korean underdog that could snatch victory from the biggest names in show business.
“Right now, it’s looking like ‘1917”s to lose,” said Alison Willmore, film critic at pop culture website Vulture. The best director category, a controversially all-male affair, is equally hard to call according to Oscar pundits, with a lineup featuring Sam Mendes , Scorsese, Todd Phillips , Tarantino and Bong Joon Ho .
A win by Zellweger would defeat “Harriet” star Cynthia Erivo, the only person of color in the acting lineup that has renewed the #OscarsSoWhite furor despite four years of efforts to diversify the academy’s membership.
