We've had the Golden Globes, we've had the Baftas, however at this point the film business is preparing for its greatest night of the year - the Oscars.
The stars are assembling in Los Angeles for the 91st Academy Awards, which occur at the Dolby theater this Sunday evening.
Roma and The Favorite lead the way this year, with 10 selections each.
While Alfonso Cuaron orders another trophy bureau, we've investigated a portion of the more strange things we've recognized for the current year.
Hre are 17 idiosyncratic certainties to store for your next bar test.
1. Woman Gaga took her stage name from the Queen tune Radio Gaga, as she said she "venerated" the band.
Be that as it may, over 10 years subsequent to shooting to distinction, she winds up successfully facing them.
Her motion picture A Star Is Born faces rivalry in the best picture class from Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody.
2. This is the third time that Amy Adams and Christian Bale have featured in a film together and both got Oscar selections for it.
They showed up close by one another in The Fighter (2010) and American Hustle (2013), and now both have gestures this year for their jobs in Vice.
Just Bale has won, be that as it may - bringing home best supporting performing artist for The Fighter.
3. Mahershala Ali is the most loved to win best supporting performer this year, for his job in Green Book.
He won a similar honor two years back, for his execution in Moonlight.
On the off chance that he brings home the prize again this year, it'll be the speediest a performer has won a similar Oscar twice since Tom Hanks, who won best on-screen character in 1993 (for Forrest Gump) and 1994 (Philadelphia).
4. Individual best supporting on-screen character chosen one Richard E Grant is outstanding to a more established age for Withnail and I.
In any case, an unquestionably more imperative acting execution than that was, obviously, his jobas the Spice Girls' supervisor in 1997's Spice World.
"I had two major aftereffects of being in Spice World: The Movie," Grant told James Corden in November.
"Lena Dunham composed four scenes of Girls for me to be in, on the grounds that she'd seen me in Spice World, and Adele sent me a ticket to come and see her in London since she was likewise a Spice World: The Movie fan."
5. Glenn Close as of now holds the questionable title of on-screen character with the most Oscar designations to her name without a success.
That is almost certain to change this year - as she's the most loved for best on-screen character for her job in The Wife.
Her six past designations are for her jobs in movies including Fatal Attraction, Dangerous Liaisons, Albert Nobbs and The Big Chill.
6. In both the best performing artist and supporting performer classes this year, four of the five chosen people depict genuine individuals in their jobs.
Furthermore, in the two classifications, the person who plays an anecdotal character is from A Star Is Born - Bradley Cooper and Sam Elliott.
The genuine figures depicted over the two classifications incorporate Freddie Mercury, Vincent Van Gogh, Dick Cheney and George W Bush.
7. This is the main year Netflix have scored a selection for best picture.
Their gesture comes in the state of Roma - which is coordinated by Alfonso Cuaron.
It's had an enormously fruitful honors season up until now - including grabbing the best prize at the Baftas prior this month.
8. Roma's star - Yalitza Aparicio - had never acted when she was cast.
Different stars to score a best on-screen character Oscar designation with their first film incorporate Quvenzhane Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild, 2013), Gabourey Sidibe (Precious, 2009), and Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit, 2010).
9. Every one of the four of the acting prizes this year could be for depictions of lesbian, gay or swinger characters.
The triumphant on-screen characters at the Baftas all were - Olivia Colman and Rachel Weisz played sweethearts in The Favorite, Mahershala Ali's depiction of Don Shirley included references to his gay experiences, while Rami Malek played Freddie Mercury, who was indiscriminate.
year ago, the champs of the four acting classifications were actually the equivalent at the Baftas and the Oscars.
Frances McDormand, Gary Oldman, Allison Janney and Sam Rockwell each won their particular classes at the two services.
In any case, that is less inclined to happen this year, as Glenn Close is relied upon to triumph in the best performing artist classification over Olivia Colman, who took the Bafta.
10. In 2008, The Dark Knight helped brief an Oscars rule change, which extended the best picture class from five chosen people to upwards of 10.
It was sought this would permit after more blockbuster superhuman movies (for example motion pictures general society really go to see) to be recognized.
Be that as it may, it's taken 10 years for a superhuman film to really profit by this standard change - in the state of the current year's assignment for Black Panther.
11. RBG's designation in the best melody class for I'll Fight is the tenth Oscar gesture for lyricist Diane Warren.
Her others incorporate LeAnn Rimes' How Do I Live (from Con Air), Aerosmith's I Don't Want to Miss a Thing (from Armageddon) and Faith Hill's There You'll Be (from Pearl Harbor).
In any case, notwithstanding the entirety of her designations, she has never returned home with an Oscar.
A year ago Warren read a clock that in the event that she won, "I would most likely black out. They'd need to lift me out of there, I'd be so stunned."
2. Incredibles 2 is assigned for best vivified highlight this year.
Be that as it may, spin-offs have seldom won in this class since the Oscars presented it in 2001.
The last one that did was 2010's Toy Story 3. (In spite of its deceptive title, 2014's Big Hero 6 wasn't a spin-off.)
Toy Story had left a 11-year hole between the second portion and the third - the long nonattendance maybe enabling the Academy's heart to become fonder.
Incredibles 2 had a much longer nonappearance - with 14 years between the first and second movies. Could that work to support its?
13. A Star Is Born is designated in eight classifications, however Bradley Cooper passed up a gesture for best chief.
This is thought to have been at any rate halfway affected by a blistering New York Times profile, which scrutinized him for declining to talk about how his own life impacted making the film.
The star admitted to Oprah not long ago he felt "humiliated" by the scorn.
14. Chadwick Boseman wasn't initially going to have an African pronunciation in Black Panther.
He told the Hollywood Reporter that Marvel initially proposed Wakandans ought to have British intonations as else it "might be excessively for a crowd of people to take".
In any case, he stated: "It felt to me like a major issue. I resembled, 'No, this is such a critical factor, that in the event that we lose this at this moment, what else are we going to discard for making individuals feel comfortable?... When we chose to do it, we let it all out."

15. Mary Poppins Returns won't have very as large a night as the first.
It has four assignments this year, two for its music, in addition to best outfit plan and best creation structure.
The 1964 Julie Andrews film won five of the 13 Oscars it was designated for - it passed up best picture, in any case, to My Fair Lady.
16. Progressively, films don't should be discharged amid honors season to get the Academy's consideration.
One of 2018's enormous triumphs, Get Out, was discharged about a year prior to the Oscars function it was selected at.
This year sees gestures for Black Panther (discharged last March) and BlackKklansman (last August).
17. Christian Bale imparts a birthday to Dick Cheney, who he depicts in Vice.
However, any reasonable person would agree Bale doesn't have indistinguishable governmental issues from the previous Republican VP.
While tolerating his Golden Globe grant a month ago, Bale stated: "Thank you to Satan for giving me motivation on the most proficient method to assume this j
