However, having multiple nominations doesn’t always mean that a film will be guaranteed to take home an Oscar. Such was the case of both ‘The Turning Point’ (1977) and ‘The Color Purple’ (1986) which picked up 11 Academy Award nominations each without winning a single one. They both faced stiff competition and the 96th Academy Awards will be no different.

Nine of the films that have been nominated for Best Picture will be competing across various categories. Six of their directors will be going head-to-head to take home a golden statuette. The lead Actor and Actress from four of them as well as three each in both of the Best Supporting Role categories will be vying for the coveted award.
