There has been a lot of speculation regarding who is set for nominations this year, with The Brutalist, Anora and Emilia Perez all considered early favourites in late 2024. However, after the Golden Globes and the announcement of BAFTA and SAG Award nominees, those odds have taken a shift.

While The Brutalist is still tipped for success at this year’s Oscar ceremony, the likes of Conclave and The Substance might find themselves in a more lucrative position at the 97th Academy Awards, owing to the recent nominations both received from BAFTA.

So when can you find out who is nominated for what live when the Oscar nominees are revealed, and who are presenting the live nominations announcement this year?
