Ahead of Hollywood's biggest night of the year, Tom Brook and the Talking Movies team travel to LA to look at the films, actors and artists up for nomination and hoping to win a coveted Academy Award.

Sean Baker has long been favoured by critics - is this the year that he finally gets awards recognition for Anora, the story of a sex worker who marries the son of a Russian oligarch? Or will German director Edward Berger's papal conspiracy drama Conclave prove a hit with the Academy voters?

A massive hit at the box office, can musical drama Wicked transfer its global success into Oscar statues? Or will the controversial genre-bending Mexican musical Emilia Perez prove more to the Academy's taste?

Sequels Dune 2 and Gladiator II drew big worldwide audiences during 2024. They contain several nominations in the technical categories, but can they land a surprise Best Picture win?

Talking Movies looks forward to what promises to be a very special night.
