Ron Howard's latest is set among German colonists on the Galapagos Islands between the wars of the last century, with Sydney Sweeney, Ana de Armas and Vanessa Kirby (not to mention Jude Law) falling out in the Equatorial sun. What could possibly go wrong?

Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold and Ryan Blake

Also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay, Nickel Boys is the next Best Picture nominee from this year's Academy Awards on our list. But does the film's unusual format - which has brought it a shedload of awards already - mean it's more or less likely to pick up the Oscar?
