On Monday, the 2020 Oscar nominations will be announced, with several films and actors vying for recognition in 24 categories. The announcement will be broadcast live on television and livestreamed on Oscar.com and the academy's social media accounts.

According to industry buzz, this year's nominees are expected to include several films, including 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,' 'The Irishman,' and '1917.' These films are likely to receive nominations in multiple categories, including picture, director, and acting.

One of the biggest questions surrounding the 2020 Oscar nominations is whether the acting nominations will feature people of color. After the British group BAFTA released a list of 20 white acting nominees, fears intensified that the Oscars may be in for another round of #OscarsSoWhite. However, several films featuring actors of color, including 'Parasite' and 'The Farewell,' are expected to receive nominations.

Another question surrounding the 2020 Oscar nominations is how 'Parasite' will fare. The film, directed by Bong Joon Ho, proved to be 2019's foreign-film sensation and is expected to receive nominations for picture, director, and original screenplay.

Finally, the 2020 Oscar nominations are expected to be a closely contested affair, with several films and actors vying for recognition. The nominees will be revealed on Monday, and the winners will be announced at the 92nd Academy Awards ceremony on February 9, 2020.
