The nominees for the 97th Academy Awards, set to take place in Hollywood this Sunday, have been announced.
Leading the pack with 13 nominations is Emilia Perez, Jacques Audiard’s bold musical about a feared Mexican drug kingpin who embarks on a journey of transformation to live as a woman.
However, the race for Best Picture appears to be favoring Anora, a modern Cinderella-style tale, and Conclave, a gripping Vatican thriller, as the top contenders for the prestigious award.
