Awards season is in full swing, and with a lack of clear front runners and many late-release films in the UK, the race is shaping up to be unpredictable.

Two musicals are vying for Best Picture at the Oscars this year, with Emilia Perez being one of them – a Spanish-language musical from a French director, featuring trans actress Karla Sofia Gascon as a Mexican drug lord who undergoes a gender transition.
The film, with 13 Oscar nominations, has faced backlash due to Gascon’s controversial tweets resurfacing.
Zoe Saldana, known for blockbuster hits, stars in the film alongside Selena Gomez, both stepping out of their comfort zones for this project.
Emilia Perez is available for viewing on Netflix.
