Photo-Illustration: Vulture; Photos: Universal Pictures If you followed the Oscars in the 2010s, the dawn of the preferential-ballot era, you had a pretty good idea of the way things would go. Wins would be spread around between the Best Picture nominees. The Best Picture race would go down to the wire, and the runner-up there would often win Director. The night’s big winners would go home with only four or five trophies. All that has changed. Last year, Everything Everywhere All at Once snatched almost every precursor prize before taking seven trophies on the big night. It was the most formidable contender we’d seen in over a decade — and Oppenheimer is poised to be even bigger. In the run-up to Sunday’s Oscars, Christopher Nolan’s film won every precursor EEAAO did, plus the two it didn’t, the Globe and the BAFTA. On nomination morning, Oppenheimer scored 13 nods, one shy of tying the all-time record. These are Return of the King numbers. [read more]( Devour pop culture with us.
