Will the 98th edition of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awards be the night of 'Battle After Battle' or 'Sinners', the two most nominated films of the evening?

Awards will be given for Best Comedy Film and Best Ibero-American Film.

The film 'O Agente Secreto' is in the running for four Oscars. With 16 nominations, 'Sinners: Pecadores' set a new Academy record.

It is unlikely that Batalha Atrás de Batalha will be dethroned despite having fewer nominations than Pecadores.
A new category, a record number of nominations and Brazil stepping forward among the leading contenders. CMTV journalist Rui Pedro Vieira reveals some of the biggest surprises of the 98th Oscars, which take place on 15 March.

Tiago Pereira explains why the film Pecadores broke the nomination record held by Titanic and La La Land. The culture editor at Observador also reflects on the popularity of Brazilian cinema.


Joachim Trier's film won prizes in five other categories. Renate Reinsve, who stars in the film, also won an award.

On Falling, Laura Carreira's debut feature, is nominated for the 'Discovery Award'.

“On Falling” is nominated for Best European Film. Portuguese actress Maria de Medeiros has been nominated for Best Supporting Actress for the Spanish co-production “Uma quinta portuguesa”.

Commentary on the Golden Globes suggesting Hollywood remains unchanged.

At the 83rd edition, hosted by Nikki Glaser, “The Secret Agent” set its sights on the Oscars, “Hamnet” won Best Motion Picture - Drama and politics featured. DiCaprio, “Sinners” and “The White Lotus” lost.

Paul Thomas Anderson remains the favourite in the Oscars race, one week before the Golden Globes. In the Best Actor category, Leonardo DiCaprio was overtaken by Ethan Hawke.
