"The Best Picture race is being headed up by two big studio contenders, One Battle After Another and , that should show up all over the ballot. (With the addition of a new category for Casting, each could tie or even exceed the record of 14 nominations.) But in most races, the last couple of spots will be decided by whether the Oscars continue their recent trend of recognizing global cinema or if they'll prefer to reward films closer to home."
"December's Golden Globes nominations were notable for the international bent: Five of the 12 nominees in the two Best Picture categories were foreign-language films, four of which came from a single studio, Neon. (The other was Nouvelle Vague, a French film with an American director.) The guilds, by contrast, preferred to buy American: SAG snubbed every international film in the running, while the PGA only nominated one, Sentimental Value."
A central question is how international the Oscars will become, with the Best Picture race led by major studio contenders including One Battle After Another. The addition of a Casting category could allow films to tie or exceed 14 nominations. Precursors show mixed signals: the Golden Globes favored foreign-language films heavily, while guilds like SAG largely ignored international contenders and the PGA nominated only one. The DGA nominated international directors of English-language films, and BAFTA's stance remains unknown until its nominations are announced. Overall, the final Oscar field may hinge on whether the Academy maintains its recent international openness.
