Breaking down the likelihood of Parasite, 1917Movie or FordvFerrari winning best picture without any acting nods Oscars
Given that actors make up 1,324 of the Academy's 8,469 voting members, their selections may be crucial , especially in a close race, as this appears to be — in contrast to the year ofThe lack of acting nominations is particularly troubling for Sam Mendes'because it has two prominent leads, Dean-Charles Chapman and George MacKay, one of whom is on camera for the film's entire 119 minutes.

For a movie this visual , being viewed in theaters could prove a significant advantage, especially given some technical glitches with the Academy's streaming service .Director and co-writer Mendes needs to get in front of audiences as much as possible. That's not just because he's a charming and likable speaker but also because he brings a personal backstory to the film: It's based on tales his grandfather told him about life as a British soldier.
Mendes has already attended more than a dozen Q&As for the guilds and different awards groups in Los Angeles and other cities, and more than 40 around the world; he'll be back in L.A. for the Jan. 18 Producers Guild Awards, then return to London for the Feb. 2 BAFTA Awards.
It's up to campaigners to remind voters of everything the movie does well, besides acting: the high-wire act of shooting everything to look as if it were one shot; the boldness of killing off the most sympathetic character deep into the story; and the achievement in making a movie that allows people to connect with a time and place none of them ever knew.
