On the eve of this year's Oscar nominations announcement Talking Movies speculates on the likely contenders in an Awards Lookahead Special. The programme reports on whether the Academy will, once again, end up giving all its best picture nominations to little seen movies imperilling the Oscars telecast which has been in a ratings free fall. The show looks at CODA - a drama featuring several deaf actors - which is expected to earn several Oscar nominations - and is seen as a landmark movie by the deaf community. Talking Movies also hears from top Hollywood actress Kristen Stewart, once heavily favoured for a best actress nomination for her portrayal of Diana, Princess of Wales in the movie Spencer, but who may now, according to many Oscar oddsmakers, be snubbed.
