If we look at Oscars history anything can happen. Still, Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer is one of the top contenders in the category, especially looking at the wave that the movie has created.
For his prolific work in Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan is the frontrunner in this category, and will probably win his first Academy trophy.
In this category, we can declare Cillian Murphy the clear winner for his outstanding work as J Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb.
In this category, it's Lily Gladstone vs Emma Stone - but the question is: who will win? Looking at Lily's history-making wins, it seems like she will take the golden statue home. But, Emma Stone can also bag the trophy for her movie Poor Things.
Robert Downey Jr's stand-out performance in Oppenheimer makes him the clear winner of this category.
Looking at her previous wins, Da'Vine Joy Randolph is favoured to take the golden statue home for her work in The Holdovers.
