Fans are yet to get over the Golden Globes 2020 craze that took place a few days ago, but hey, there’s something bigger in store ahead.

Well, one just can let go the Quentin Tarantino biggie, Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood, which might run neck-to-neck with Sam Mendes’ war drama, 1917. As per News18, the precursor guild nominations, this year, have hinted at Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood, 1917, The Irishman, JoJo Rabbit and Parasite, gaining at a definite spot in the nominations. Well, one got to wait and see if Joaquin Pheonix’s Joker manages to bad a spot or not.
Talking about the best actor category, there’s Joaquin Phoenix (Joker), Adam Driver (Marriage Story) Leonardo DiCaprio (Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood), Antonio Banderas (Pain and Glory), Christian Bale (Ford v Ferrari), Eddie Murphy (Dolemite Is My Name), Adam Sandler (Uncut Gems) and Robert De Niro (The Irishman), competing against each other. Reportedly, Beyoncé will be bagging a nomination for her song in Lion King.
