It’s the biggest award on the biggest night in entertainment: Best Picture at the Academy Awards. With eight very unique nominees on the ballot this year, there are many different ways this can go.

Or dare we say it…a Marvel superhero film?
Here’s a brief rundown of the nominees followed by industry indicators and predictions as to what could happen tonight. And the nominees are:

Lanthimos’ deliciously dark period piece tells the story of cousins Sarah (Rachel Weisz) and Abigail (Emma Stone) as they battle their way to becoming Queen Anne’s prized pet. There’s verbal beef, physical seduction, and even a shocking poisoning spell as relations between the two family members grow colder and colder. It’s a combination of 18th-century storytelling mixed with elements of a modern-day soap that in the end turns out to be more All About Eve than Dallas.
Mystical technology, a fictional African kingdom, and an army of strong female characters, Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther swooped in delivering the hero we needed at the exact moment we needed him. Never has a superhero movie been more socially-conscious and important, proving with its predominantly black cast that representation matters and that an afro-futurist fable can break social barriers…and the box office.
