After a topsy-turvy Oscar season in which frontrunners were constantly shuffled, today’s Academy Awards, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, will bring to a close one of the most unpredictable Oscar races in recent memory.

The lead nominee is Netflix’s Emilia PĂ©rez with 13 nominations, but that film has seen its chances crater following uproar over years-old offensive tweets by its star, Karla SofĂ­a GascĂłn, the first openly trans actor nominated for best actress.

The favourite for best picture is Sean Baker’s Anora, about a sex worker who weds the son of a Russian oligarch. The Neon release, the Cannes Palme d’Or winner, won with the producers, directors and writers guild. The only movie with the same resume to not win best picture is Brokeback Mountain.

Its closest competition is Conclave, the papal thriller starring Ralph Fiennes. It won at the BAFTAs and the SAG Awards, wins that came just as Pope Francis was hospitalised for double pneumonia. Oscar voting concluded before the pope fell ill.

Guy Pearce carries Australian hopes in the Best Supporting Actor category for his performance in The Brutalist.

Melbourne animator and filmmaker Adam Elliot is nominated in the Best Animation Feature category for Memoir of a Snail and Melbourne cinematographer Greig Fraser is nominated for Dune: Part Two.
