Phoenix is expected to take home the Best Actor trophy, while composer Hildur Guenadóttir is the frontrunner in the Best Original Score race. Right behind “Joker” are “The Irishman,” “1917,” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” all of which have 10 Oscar nominations. “Hollywood” star Brad Pitt is the frontrunner in the Best Supporting Actor race, while Tarantino’s script is battling “Parasite” for Best Original Screenplay. “1917” is excepted to dominate the craft categories while landing Sam Mendes his second Oscar for Best Director after “American Beauty.” “The Irishman” might become the rare film to earn 10 nominations and leave the ceremony empty handed.
