But the rest of the shortlist is up for grabs（公开招标）, amidst one of the most competitive fields in years. ? Experts predict a full slate of 10 nominees, with Dallas Buyers Club and Captain Phillips among frontrunners. ? Actor Chris Hemsworth and Oscars chief Cheryl Boone Isaacs will list nominees at 05:38 local time. ? 12 Years a Slave, Steve McQueens hard-hitting historical drama, picked up the top honour at the Sundays Golden Globes, winning best film drama.? ? It is also the bookmakers favourite to win the Oscar for best picture, but David O Russells crime caper American Hustle is rapidly closing in, after picking up three Globes, including best film in the comedy or musical category.? ? Its female stars Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence also picked up best actress and supporting actress prizes. ? Lawrence won the best actress Oscar last February for Russells Silver Linings Playbook and is generating a strong buzz this year in the supporting actress category for her scene-stealing role as Rosalyn, the unpredictable wife of conman Irving Rosenfeld, played by Christian Bale.? ? Gravity, the 3D film about astronauts stranded in space, picked up the prestigious best director Globe for Alfonso Cuaron, making him an Oscar frontrunner alongside McQueen and Russell. ? Gravity star Sandra Bullock is hotly tipped for a best actress nomination, while 12 Years a Slaves Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyongo are all expected to get acting nods. ? The best picture category can consist of anything between five and 10 films. For the past two years there have been nine films on the shortlist.
