With 13, 11 and 10 nominations respectively,
Oppenheimer
,
Poor Creatures
and
The Moon Killers
are positioned as
favorite films for the 2024 Oscars
, which will be awarded on the night of Sunday, March 10, only ahead of
Barbie
, with 8 nominations ;
Master
, with 7;
and
Anatomy of a Fall
,
Those Who Stay
,
The Hotspot
and
American Fiction
, with 5 each.
The Dolby Theater in Los Angeles will host an important Spanish representation this year thanks to the statuette possibilities of
The Snow Society
and the animated
Robot Dreams
.
We bet on both films in our
Oscar wine pool
.
We are clear: these are our winners of the big night of cinema and the best wine to toast their success.
Best Film: 'Barbie' + Anais Rosado from U Mes U
Margot Robbie as Barbie.
American Fiction
,
Anatomy of a Fall
,
Barbie
,
Those Who Stay
,
The Moon Killers
,
Maestro
,
Oppenheimer
,
Past Lives
,
Poor Creatures
and
The Zone of Interest
will compete for the coveted Oscar for Best Picture at this gala.
We chose
Barbie
for everything it represents
and uncorked a wine that matches the pink universe of the famous doll and whose label adds to her feminist struggle: Anais Rosado, from the Penedés U Mes U winery, an organic, fresh and fruity that transports us to spring sunsets aboard the small plane of
Amelia Earhart
, the first female pilot to cross the Atlantic.
A restless adventurer eager to break the pre-established patterns of her time.
Like Barbie.
Anais Rosado.
Best Director: Martin Scorsese + Francis Coppola Diamond Collection Cabernet Sauvignon
Film director Martin Scorsese.
Although
Yorgos Lanthimos
(
Poor Creatures
) won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival as a preamble to the great cinema ceremony and
Jonathan Glazer
's
The Zone of Interest
was the most celebrated film at the Cannes Festival along with
Christopher Nolan
's
Oppenheimer
, even though an independent film like
Anatomy of a Fall
by
Justine Triet
has sold out tickets in half the world for weeks,
we believe that Martin Scorsese is the one who will win best director this year
for
The Moon Killers
.
We toasted the filmmaker with a Californian wine, the cabernet sauvignon of his contemporary
Francis Ford Coppola
.
"My old friend Martin Scorsese is a wonderful person and the best living filmmaker in the world. His new film delivers on all levels," the director of
The Godfather
promoted his colleague's film.

Best Leading Actress: Emma Stone + Suzanne from Oxer Wines
Emma Stone, favorite for best actress for 'Poor Creatures'.
The thing is complicated.
It is not easy to choose between the masterful performances of
Lily Gladstone
(
The Moon Killers
),
Carey Mulligan
(
The Master
), Sandra Hüller (
Anatomy of a Fall
),
Annette Bening
(
Nyad
) and
Emma Stone
(
The Poor Things
), but the stark The latter's role in Lanthimos' film makes us opt for Stone.
For her it is this old Grenache from Rioja Alta made by
Oxer Wines
and aged in oak barrels, clay amphorae and concrete eggs, with a Gothic label that reminds us of the metamorphosis of
Bella Baxter
, that "Frankensteinian" bride resurrected by the Doctor Godwin Baxter (
Willem Dafoe
) using a baby's brain.
Suzzane references the
Leonard Cohen
song and is an ode to women.
The back label rescues some words from the Uruguayan writer
Eduardo Galeano
that could not work better with the film's plot: "I break this egg and the woman is born and the man is born. And together they will live and die. But they will be born again. They will be born and they will die again and "They will be born again. And they will never stop being born, because death is a lie."

Best Leading Actor: Cillian Murphy + Patrick Murphy's Henley Boot
Actor Cillian Murphy in 'Oppenheimer'
The biopic of
Leonard Bernstein
(
Maestro
) has elevated actor
Bradley Cooper
to the top of the list of favorites for the Oscar for Best Leading Actor, but he will have to compete with this year's undisputed favorite:
Cillian Murphy
(
Oppenheimer
).
Although not with
Leonardo Dicaprio
, who is once again left without a nomination.
Hot on their heels are
Colman Domingo
(
Rustin
),
Paul Giamatti
(
Those Who Remain
) and
Jeffrey Wright
(
American Fiction
).
But we kept our
Tommy Shelby
from
Peaky Blinders
and celebrated his great award with a grass-fed wine that shares the actor's Irish surname: the Henley Boot from
Patrick Murphy
's vintage collection refers to the great English writer
William Ernest Henley
.
"The spirit of the wine in this boot comes to life."
A white that restores value to the Marco de Jerez vintage system, popular in the 17th century, and to the varieties grown in each region.

Best International Film: 'The Snow Society' + Gramona Vi by Glass Gewürztraminer
A moment from the Spanish film 'The Snow Society'.
The Snow Society
, by the Spanish
Juan Antonio Bayona
, will have to contend this year with
The Zone of Interest
(United Kingdom),
Perfect Days
(Japan),
I Captain
(Italy) and
Teachers' Room
(Germany) in the category of Best International Film.
And honestly, we think it has no competitors.
To accompany the
more than sure statuette of this dramatic recreation of the famous plane crash in the Andes
, we opted for an ice wine from Penedés inspired by the famous German
eisweine
: Gramona Vi by Glass Gewürztraminer, a natural sweet made from late-picked grapes. and frozen in chambers that work at -15ºC with the help of liquid nitrogen.
In this way, the must ferments for a longer period than usual (two and a half months) due to the high concentration of sugar and the resulting wine is concentrated, sweet and refreshing at the same time, capable of aging without limit in a bottle. specially designed to protect its upbringing.
Best Animated Film: 'Robot Dreams' + Piu Ánfora
A moment from the animated film 'Robot dreams', by Spanish Pablo Berger.
We added the animation category to the pool because the Spanish film
Robot Dreams
by
Pablo Berger
has been selected to compete alongside
The Boy and the Heron
,
Elemental
,
Nimona
and
Spider-Man: Crossing the Multiverse
, and we want to support it as it deserves.
It is a
film about the friendship between a dog and a robot
, based on the popular graphic novel by
Sara Varon
, which tells the story of Dog, a lonely dog who lives in Manhattan in the 80s and one day decides to "build himself" a friend.
We will not give more details so as not to ruin the obligatory viewing of this delicious animated film, for which we propose a wine made by two other friends, Pedro and José, and to which another dog gives its name: Piu Ánfora from Tierra Savia.
Garnacha and a little Tempranillo from organic vineyards planted around Cazalla de la Sierra, in the heart of the Sierra Morena Natural Park, in Seville, placed in clay amphorae to seek the maximum fruit expression of these varieties.
