The “Sinners” star became the consensus pick as voters soured on Timothée Chalamet, the “Marty Supreme” lead. It helped that the winner is a bankable performer.

It will be a tight race for best picture and actor, while the In Memoriam segment looks to be supersized this year.

“Sinners” and “One Battle After Another” have been neck and neck all season. Here’s what our expert thinks will go the distance.

Hollywood careers don’t always begin where you expect them to, as Jessie Buckley, Teyana Taylor and Emma Stone could tell you.

The Paul Thomas Anderson film also took the top Directors Guild prize as well, a good sign for the movie’s best picture prospects at the Oscars.

A best actor Oscar contender for “Blue Moon,” the star reflects on turbulent times in Hollywood and the notion of selling out: “I think about it constantly.”

After a stroke four years ago, the actor has changed how he approaches performances, including the one he’s become an awards favorite for.

In an exceptionally strong field, Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, Michael B. Jordan and Wagner Moura each have a way to triumph.

Ariana Grande, Chase Infiniti and Paul Mescal were shut out, but voters made room for Delroy Lindo, Kate Hudson and “F1.”

“Sinners” and “One Battle After Another” could set a record. Expect them to be up for best picture with “Hamnet,” “Frankenstein” and “Marty Supreme.”

Keep an eye on “One Battle After Another,” which is likely to dominate, and on the speeches. A particularly memorable one could be an Oscar lifeline.
