We may only be halfway through 2024, but thoughts are already turning to the 2025 Academy Awards - set to take place on March 2.
There have already been a number of big award-winners released in cinemas, including Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two.
And the big releases will be coming thick and fast in the coming weeks, with the like of Joker: Folie a Deux and Blitz on the way to cinema screens.
They are all expected to be in the hunt when it comes to awards season.
