As for the movies, Netflix’s The Power of the Dog and Warner Bros/Legendary’s Dune lead all nominees coming into the night, Power of the Dog and Apple’s CODA emerging as frontrunners in the marquee Best Picture category. If either win it would mark the first time a streaming service has claimed that crown.
