The countdown to the 95th Academy Awards Ceremony is upon us. This year's nominees for Best Picture cover a wide range of genres, from the dizzying science fiction adventure film <em>Everything Everywhere All At Onc</em>e, to a dark Irish tragicomedy <em>The Banshees of Inisherin, </em>to a big-budget fighter jet sequel <em>Top Gun: Maverick.</em> There's a lot riding on these awards, as the film industry and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences fight to remain relevant.
