War film '1917,' Joaquin Phoenix lead the race for 2020 Oscars

LOS ANGELES - Terrifying clown or ageing mobsters? Nostalgia for Tinseltown or the muddy trenches of a century-old war?

Brad Pitt, Elton John, Charlize Theron, Leonardo DiCaprio, Scarlett Johansson and Martin Scorsese are among the A-List nominees, alongside the little-known cast of Korean-language drama “Parasite,” which threatens to steal the thunder from Hollywood’s biggest names. “Parasite,” from best director nominee Bong Joon Ho, looks certain to win the newly named best international film category and is seeking to enter the history books as the first film in a foreign language to win a best picture Oscar.

Netflix boosted its Hollywood credentials by getting a leading 24 nominations this year, including for drama “The Two Popes,” animated movie “Klaus,” and documentary “American Factory.” Yet the coveted best picture Oscar may elude it yet again on Sunday, awards watchers say.

Another woke speech from the Joker?
