Joker: is it possible to feel compassion for serial killers?
by Luca Fontana

The Academy has decided who’s in the race to win an Oscar in the night of 9 to 10 February 2020. Which actors and movies would you vote for?
This is the moment many directors, actors and filmmakers have been waiting for: the Oscar nominations have just been announced in an official press release.
Unsurprisingly, «Joker» by director Todd Phillips has the best chances. The drama has been nominated in eleven Oscar nominations, including the most important category «Best picture».
The Oscar ceremony will take place in Los Angeles on the night of 9 to 10 February 2020. It starts at 5 p.m. EST, which is 1 a.m. in Switzerland.
