Description
The countdown to the 95th Academy Awards Ceremony is upon us. This year's nominees for Best Picture cover a wide range of genres, from the dizzying science fiction adventure film Everything Everywhere All At Once, to a dark Irish tragicomedy The Banshees of Inisherin, to a big-budget fighter jet sequel Top Gun: Maverick. There's a lot riding on these awards, as the film industry and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences fight to remain relevant.
