It will be a few more months before we have a true 2024 Oscar ballot\u2014voting for nominations begins on January 11, with nominations announced on January 23. But thanks to festival buzz, critical assessments, and a few early awards, we have a pretty good sense of which films and performances are most likely to show up on those ballots when they\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n
Below, we\u2019ve got the long list of contenders in the six top Oscar categories, including best picture and all four acting races. We can\u2019t guarantee you that every single nominee will come from this list\u2014every Oscar year has its surprises, of course\u2014but if you want to start catching up on contenders, this is an ideal place to start.<\/p>\n
