Airing on CBS, the event will be hosted by comedian Jo Koy who will officially usher in the first major awards show of the new year. And while Hollywood’s biggest and best are set to be in attendance—because y’all know how we do it on this side—we root for everybody Black.

And it’s in that vein that we’d like to showcase the handful of nominees who could take home the gold(en) prize!

Let’s start with the lovely lady pictured above: Da’Vine Joy Randolph. Nominated for her role in “The Holdovers,” this frontrunner is up for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture.

Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy: “American Fiction”

Written and directed by Cord Jefferson, “American Fiction” stars Jeffrey Wright as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.

The critically acclaimed film also stars Issa Rae, Tracee Ellis Ross, Erika Alexander and Sterling K. Brown.

Best Motion Picture – Animated: “Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse”

Nominated for Best Motion Picture-Animated, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” follow Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man (voiced by Shameik Moore) as he’s catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence. However, when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders. He, alongside Gwen Stacy, must soon redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.

The film is also up for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.

Best Motion Picture – Animated: “Wish”

Nominated for Best Motion Picture- Animated, “Wish” tells the classic Disney tale of Asha (voiced by Tony Award winner Ariana Debose), who makes a wish so powerful that it’s answered by a cosmic force, a little ball of boundless energy called Star. With Star’s help, Asha must save her kingdom from King Magnifico and prove that when the will of one courageous human connects with the magic of the stars, wondrous things can happen.
