For nearly a century, Oscar voters have been reluctant to hand the best-actor prize to young men, almost always opting to reward more seasoned performers.

Oscars best film editing predictions include "F1," "Sinners," "One Battle After Another," "Hamnet" and "Sentimental Value."

As the race for those coveted gold statuettes kicks into high gear in the new year, “Sinners” and “One Battle After Another” have so far emerged as frontrunners, taking turns as the most-nominated film from various awards bodies like the Critics Choice Association and the Golden Globes’ Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

In the past 15 years, only four movies have achieved the rare feat of winning the DGA, PGA, WGA and Best Picture Oscar prizes. Is ‘One Battle After Another’ the next ‘Anora’?

Oscars predictions include contenders such as "One Battle After Another," "Hamnet," "Frankenstein," "Sinners" and "Wicked: For Good."

On that note, it's good to know Gwyneth Paltrow’s Oscar isn't solely used as a doorstop. The golden statue already opened a few doors for the actress who received it, so there's no need for it to do so in the literal sense. Be sure to watch Paltrow's acting comeback in Marty Supreme, which is now playing in theaters.

The Hollywood Reporter's Scott Feinberg updates his picks following the Critics Choice Awards and the Palm Springs International Film Festival's Awards Gala, and ahead of the Actor Awards nominations.

From Charlize Theron to Javier Bardem, these are the best acting Oscar winners of the 2000s, transformative performances that are already iconic.
