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.
Here are the 10 that are tipped to win the award for Best Picture.
5. Sing Sing
With odds of 15/2, prison drama 'Sing Sing' is fifth favourite with the bookies for Best Picture. Directed by Greg Kwedar and starring Colman Domingo, it's based on the real-life Rehabilitation Through the Arts program at Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison, and features a cast of former prisoners. | Contributed
6. Wicked: Part One
Musical Wicked has been a huge box office hit and is 15/2 for the Oscar. If it doesn't win this year it'll have another chance in 2026 - part two is out in December. | Contributed
7. The Nickel Boys
Telling the devastating tale of a Florida reform school where teenage boys were abused and killed, The Nickel Boys is a 10/1 shot for Best Picture. Directed by RaMell Ross, it tells much of the story from the first person perspective of the characters. | Contributed
8. Dune: Part Two
The second part of Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of epic scifi 'Dune' had been favourite for the Oscar when it was first released but has drifted out to odds of 10/1. | Contributed
