Which films are expected to win big?

The Golden Globes gave an indicator of potential winners earlier this month with Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and Sam Mendes' 1917 both enjoying big nights.

Netflix's The Irishman failed to scoop any awards at the ceremony, but Al Pacino and Joe Pesci will both be fancied in the Best Supporting Actor category, while the film itself should find itself among the Best Picture nominees.

Greta Gerwig's Little Women was criminally overlooked at the Golden Globes, but may fare better at the Academy Awards, with Saoirse Ronan likely in line to receive her fourth nomination for an Academy Award.
