A total of 96 Oscars will be revealed on March 10, and the winning names will pop out of 23 envelopes. According to USBets.com, a list of those set to break records is out.
Oppenheimer – that story about the father of A Bomb – with 13 nominations can break the record for most wins on a single night. And Poor Things (11 nods) may well equal the record now held by Ben-Hur, Titanic and Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. All of them clinched 11 trophies each.
Lily Gladstone can be the first indigenous woman to win the Performance Academy Award for Killers Of The Flower Moon.
Robert DeNiro (“Killers Of The Flower Moon”, Supporting Actor nominee) and Jodie Foster (“Nyad”, Supporting Actress nom) could join an elite group of seven other actors with three+ Oscar wins (Katharine Hepburn is the only one with 4 acting Oscars).
If Cillian Murphy wins in the Best Actor category for Oppenheimer, he will be the first Irishman to do so. He was born in Cork, Ireland.
Emma Stone could join 26 other actresses who have taken home the statuette on two or more occasions. All for being leading ladies. Stone won in 2019 for La La Land and she is nominated in the same section this year for Poor Things.
Also, Stone could be the second performer to take home both the Best Actress and Best Picture Oscars. She is the producer of Poor Things, and this award goes to one who has made a movie. Francis McDormand clinched such an honour – Best Actress and Best Picture – for Nomadland in 2021.
Martin Scorsese may become the oldest winner in the Best Director category if he wins for “Killers Of The Flower Moon”. He will be 81 at the time of this year’s ceremony, and the current holder of the record is Clint Eastwood, who was 74 when he was adjudged Best Director for “Million Dollar Baby”.
John Williams can become the oldest winner of a competitive Oscar if he gets the Best Score statuette for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. He will be 92. James Ivory won the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for Call Me By Your Name at age 89.
The Zone of Interest may become the first UK production to win the Best International Feature Film prize — since the main dialogue here is not in English. This is a prerequisite for this category.
Will Italy better its record for most victories in the Best International Feature Film category if it wins for Lo Capitano? So far, it has scored 14 times, this would be its 15th.
Pixar Studio has the most Oscars in the Best Animated Feature section – 11 out of 18 noms. If it gets one more for Elemental, that will be the 12th occasion.
The Boy and The Heron from Hayao Miyazaki (Japan) can become the second non-English movie to succeed in the Best Animated Feature field. Miyazaki’s Spirited Away was the first and last non-English speaking winner in 2001.
