Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was chock-full of great performances.
The Quentin Tarantino film which came out in August has been regarded as one of his best features and it earned a 10-minute standing ovation when it premiered at the Venice Film Festival.
The movie, set in 1969, follows Leonardo DiCaprio who plays an aging television star whose series has been canceled. Along with his cameraman, portrayed by Brad Pitt, he attempts to work his way back into the industry which is no longer that which he recognizes.
Pitt is so far the favourite to scoop up the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, which, if he wins, will be his first Academy Award for acting in his 32-year career. He already has an Oscar as a producer on 12 Years a Slave which won Best Picture in 2014.
The studio behind Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is ensuring that the 55-year-old has the best chance in his category by submitting his co-star, DiCaprio, in that of Best Actor.
Nominations for the 92nd Academy Awards will be announced on January 13th, 2020, with the ceremony scheduled for February 9th.
