With most awards split between Conclave and The Brutalist at the Baftas, at four each, many have been looking at one of those two to clinch the all-important best picture Oscar, while there’s also been a surge in support for Anora – whose leading lady Mikey Madison clinched best actress over Demi Moore for The Substance in a surprise win at the Baftas.
And then in 1997, romantic war drama The English Patient also won best picture among its haul of nine, while Fiennes was nominated for – and lost – best actor.
It first happened in 1994 for Schindler’s List, and the film won best picture alongside six other Oscars – but not, remember, best supporting actor.
