Softer year for blockbusters

Two of di biggest feem for box office last year na Wicked: For Good and Avatar: Fire and Ash, but e be like say both sequels go pick up fewer nominations than di first one.

Pipo no really receive Wicked second part like di first feem, while di third Avatar movie get less fatigue becos of di franchise and director James Cameronnonchalant approach to dey camapaign for Oscar.

"You fit play di awards game, or you fit play di game wey I like to play and na to make movies wey pipo go actually watch," Cameron tok last month. "Sorry!"

If best picture nominations for dis two blockbusters no too dey likely, we no dey feel hopeful for A Minecraft Movie.

Box office titans

Dis year best actor race dey really heavy wit big names - DiCaprio dey face competition from front-runner Timothée Chalamet (Marty Supreme), Michael B Jordan (Sinners), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon) and Jesse Plemons (Bugonia).

However, in dis year wey dey packed wit Hollywood A-list stars, several of dem go miss out on Oscar nominations.

Julia Roberts (After The Hunt), George Clooney (Jay Kelly), Dwayne Johnson (The Smashing Machine), Jennifer Lawrence (Die My Love) and Sydney Sweeney (Christy) all get movie for dis year race, but dem don lose momentum for recent weeks.

First-time nominees

Many of di actors wey fit get dia first Oscar nomination on Thursday still dey early stage of dia career - like Chase Infiniti (25), Elle Fanning (27) and Jacob Elordi (28).

But plenty oda established actors also dey wey dem neva get any nomination bifor - like Rose Byrne (46), Wagner Moura (49), Joel Edgerton (51) and Stellan Skarsgård (74).

Most importantly, Hollywood giant Adam Sandler (59) fit get recognition for im role for Jay Kelly, as im neva get nomination from di Academy bifor.

Sandler na one of di biggest box office stars from him generation, but im films dey more likely to win Razzie Awards (he don get nine) pass Oscars. If Academy give am nod, e go show say him don reinvent im career.

New casting category

Di choice and combination of actors fit make or break any feem, and dis year di Academy don introduce new category for best casting. Make you dey expect many of di best picture frontrunners make dem show for here.

From 2028, one new category go enta, as di Oscars go follow di Actor Awards (formerly SAG) to recognize di best stunt design.

But how dem go take create space for all dis new categories wen di ceremony dey always late every year?

Dis go become less of an issue wen di Oscars move go YouTube for 2029, witout di tight time restrictions and commercial breaks wey dey follow wit terrestrial TV.

New rule: Voters go suppose don watch di feem

Groundbreaking, right?

Pipo wey don watch all di major feems in contention every year sometimes get small tin to say, no be all di pipo wey dey vote dey do di same.

Di Academy wan change dat dis year - members go need to either watch di feems for dia streaming organisation service, or fill form wit details of di cinema screening wey dem attend.

E go sweet to see weda dem go really enforce am, as we dey struggle to imagine Meryl Streep dey bother with dat level of admin.
