The 97th Academy Awards kick off at 4 p.m. local time in Los Angeles on Sunday, in what is turning out to be one of the more tumultuous and tight races for the coveted best picture prize.
Emilia Pérez, a Spanish-language film from streaming service Netflix Inc. about a crime boss who changes genders, leads among nominations with 13 in total and was considered a strong contender for the top award after winning the best musical or comedy prize at the Golden Globes in January.
