The Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, is one of the most prestigious award ceremonies in the film industry. Every year, the best films of the year are recognized and awarded in various categories, including Best Picture. The Best Picture award is considered the most coveted award of the night, as it recognizes the overall excellence of a film in terms of its direction, acting, writing, and production.

This year, the competition for the Best Picture award is fierce, with several outstanding films in the running. Some of the top contenders for the award include "Nomadland," "The Trial of the Chicago 7," "Minari," "Promising Young Woman," and "Mank."

"Nomadland," directed by Chloe Zhao, has been a critical favorite since its premiere at the Venice Film Festival.

It has already won several awards, including the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival.
