Hollywood’s A-listers will hit the red carpet Sunday for the Oscars — the climax of a long, eventful awards season that could yield some big surprises. Alfonso Cuaron’s black-and-white cinematic ode to his childhood, “Roma,” leads with 10 nominations and is a firm favourite for the coveted best picture Academy Award. If it does win, it will be the first foreign-language film, and the first from streaming giant Netflix, to earn the honour. –For top acting honours, Christian Bale’s transformation into Cheney for “Vice” gave him the early lead in the Oscars race and several statuettes. The 91st Academy Awards begin Sunday at 5:00 pm (0100 GMT Monday).
