Hollywood’s award season reaches its extravagant finale at the Oscars on Sunday, with war epic “1917” tipped to dispatch a brigade of winners to the stage at the movie industry’s biggest night. | AFP

It is the favorite for multiple Oscars from best director to cinematography, and the frontrunner for best picture, the night’s top prize.

The unique ballot system for best picture—which involves voters ranking films—makes it somewhat tough to predict, and could create an opening for an unlikely candidate. The film about a poor family infiltrating a wealthy household looks to be a shoo-in for best international feature—but also could triumph in some of the top categories.The Oscars in the acting categories—usually a subject of agonizing deliberation for industry pundits—appear settled, with the same four stars sweeping up rave reviews and awards all season.

Tinseltown favorites Brad Pitt and Laura Dern have their fingertips on the supporting acting prizes, for their work as a laid-back stuntman and a cutthroat divorce lawyer .“People will say ‘there’s always an Oscars surprise’… but I think those four are going to win it,” agreed Gray. Elton John, tipped to win the best original song Oscar for “ Love Me Again” from “Rocketman,” will perform, as will big Grammys winner and upcoming James Bond songstress Billie Eilish.
