recent changes in the membership it is harder to predict who will win the acting races. emma jones has been taking a look at the field. it really is anyone's guess this year as to who will take an oscar. even the nominations have surprises. the best actor category includes chadwick boseman, asian american steven yeun and riz ahmed for sound of metal. two past oscar winner sir anthony hopkins for the father and gary oldman are in the running and it still carries a thrill gary oldman hoop lays the writer of citizen kane and david finch's mank. you have to pinch yourself. you go, oh, i have got an oscar. it is not something you think about in the moment of going into it in the moment of going into it in the moment of going into it in the moment of going into a project. it is only after where people start to

academy of motion picture arts and sciences, the organisation that hands out the oscars doesn't have a glorious trap record when it comes to awarding indian cinema. india which has the most prolific movie industry in the world has never won for best international feature or the equivalent award at the oscars but this year there is a film set and shot in india which has earned the best adapted screenplay nomination. it has gone to the writer and director and the film is the white tiger.— writer and director and the film is the white tiger. since i was a boy, the white tiger. since i was a boy, the desire — the white tiger. since i was a boy, the desire to _ the white tiger. since i was a boy, the desire to be _ the white tiger. since i was a boy, the desire to be a _ the white tiger. since i was a boy, the desire to be a servant. - the white tiger. since i was a boy, the desire to be a servant. had i the white tiger. since i was a boy, i the desire to be a servant. had been hammered into _ the desire to be a servant. had been hammered into my _ the desire to be a servant. had been hammered into my skull. _ the desire to be a servant. had been hammered into my skull. the - the desire to be a servant. had been hammered into my skull. the white l hammered into my skull. the white tiger is based on the 2008 bestseller. it is the story of a young indian servant with the most noble of intentions who is corrupted by his master. there is naked rage and revenge in the story, nothing software cosy. it has big named

stars. an newcomer is mesmerising as the young boy. good to see you again. the film has been directed by again. the film has been directed by a talented new york—based film—maker who i have been falling for more than 15 years. the white tiger is definitely bringing audiences a caustic, commentary on indian society. tt caustic, commentary on indian socie . 2, 2, caustic, commentary on indian socie . . ., ., ., . society. it had a lot of confidence in india then, _ society. it had a lot of confidence in india then, a _ society. it had a lot of confidence in india then, a middle _ society. it had a lot of confidence in india then, a middle class - society. it had a lot of confidence in india then, a middle class that| in india then, a middle class that was growing. some of those changes have stalled, the economy did not reach the economy that they thought. it is a commentary on massive gaps in wealth. it is very specific and authentic to india but it is very universal. i think especially tragically in the age of coronavirus, many people feel how difficult it is to get anywhere in life when the system around you is

post coronavirus, no wonder they are raising a glass to getting this far. now before we go, it is time for me to make my predictions of who will win in the key oscar category. of course, i ran the risk of making a total full of myself. best adapted screenplay. that award will go to nomadland one of several it will receive on the night. a story crafted blending deal itinerant people playing themselves with professional actors. best original screenplay, that oscar will be awarded for the trial of the chicago seven. a historical legal drama that

he also directed. best documentary feature, that award goes to my octopus teacher. a portrait of south africa's craig foster love affair with an octopus. best animated feature, that will go to seoul, a beautiful pixar animation. soul are quirky but doting grandmother in two. best supporting actor, that will go to daniel kaluuya for his masterful and emotionally charged

portrait of fred hampton, a significant member of the black panther party. in the film judas and the black messiah. best actress, that will go to francis mcdormand who has emerged as one of the most accomplished leading ladies. she will have as many trophies as meryl streep but still undone by katharine hepburn who won four. best actor will go deservedly to the late great chadwick boseman who died tragically at the age of a3 last year for his last screen raw as troubled trumpet player. —— screen role. best director that will go to the first women of colour to win the award for her work on nomadland. she has only the second woman ever to win for best director. for her it will be a very good night. and finally,

talking movies predicts the best picture prize, will go to nomadland which is basically anointed oscar's frontrunner from the time of its launch at the venice film festival last year. perhaps in this turbulent time, audiences and oscar voters were drawn to the story of dislocated lives set against the big skies of the american west. nomadland is a film about something. beautifully shot with strong performances. it had the feel of an oscar—winning epic. well that reigns as special oscars preview edition of talking movies to a close. we hope you enjoyed the show. remember you can always reach is online. and you can always reach is online. and you can find us on facebook and twitter. romney, tom brooke and the rest of the talking movies production team here in los angeles, it is goodbye. as we leave you with the oscar
