Those are all very different, but like I said, very ambitious in their own ways. So it's nice to see them in the mix here for sure. Of course, we've got the more traditional Best Picture nominees here. Glenn, tell us about this group.

Yeah. And, you know, for the past several years, we've seen international features nominated in the Best Picture category. And so this year, I'm Still Here actually earned a nomination. It's set in 1970s Brazil when it was under a military dictatorship. And it tells the story of a mother dealing with the disappearance of her politician husband.

And finally, we've got two movies that have been making lots of waves.

Okay. We'll talk a little bit more about that in a second. But they've been on the scene since way back at Cannes. The Cannes Film Festival last spring. Stephen, what have we got here?

Yeah. Okay, well, before we truly dig into who we think will and should win here, it's important for us to sort of briefly touch on the controversies that have arisen during awards season. There's the big one. Very soon after the nominations were announced in January... Some old racist and Islamophobic tweets made by Amelia Perez star Carla Sofia Gascon resurfaced by journalist Sarah Hagee.

Now, to a lesser degree, the Amelia Perez team has also faced some flack for using AI cloning to widen Gascon's singing range. Amelia Perez led the Oscars race this year with 13 nominations.
