The nominees of the 95th Anniversary Oscars have been announced by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

According to critics, the contestants with the most favorable chance to win the main award are, not in a particular order, the following three films:

  • Avatar: The Way of Water, directed by James Cameron
  • Top Gun: Maverick, directed by Joseph Kosinski
  • The Fabelmans, directed by Steven Spielber

Despite Avatar and Top Gun harvesting billions of dollars at the box office, while The Fabelmans fell short in that area compared to them, critics highlighted that box office success is not a crucial indicator for the Academy.

In that context, The Fabelmans is a fierce contester for the award, said the critics, explaining that during the film, you won't be able to take your eyes off the screen.

1/9

"Avatar: The Way of Water" is one of the obvious favorites.

Earning $2 billion dollars worldwide, the movie placed James Cameron as the first director in the Industry's history to release three movies with each receiving over $2 billion dollars.
