THIS YEAR’S OSCARS take place tonight, as Ireland grapples with the emerging results of the general election.

Just like going to the cinema itself, watching the Oscar race is a nice bit of escapism into the world of Hollywood. But it’s also a way of stoking up fierce debate amongst friends and pals on social media.

So with that in mind we want to know: what did you make of the films up for the Best Picture statuette?

Let us know using the player ratings below. Simply slide the slider until it reaches the number you’d allocate.

"Visionary auto designer Carroll Shelby and race car driver Ken Miles team up to build a high-performance race car for the Ford Motor Company, hoping to defy the odds and defeat the dominant Ferrari at the 1966 Le Mans."

"As an old man, World War II vet Frank Sheeran reflects on his life as a hustler and mob hitman, working alongside many notorious figures, including Jimmy Hoffa, the subject of one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history."

"During World War II, a lonely German boy’s world is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother is hiding a young Jewish girl in their attic. Aided only by his idiotic imaginary friend Adolf Hitler, Jojo must confront his blind nationalism."

"In Gotham’s fractured society, a young man longs to be a stand-up comic, but finds the joke is always on him. Caught in a cycle of apathy, cruelty and ultimately, betrayal, the comedian makes one bad decision after another, bringing about a chain reaction of escalating events."

"In Los Angeles in 1969, aging TV star Rick Dalton and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth struggle to make their way around an industry and a city they hardly recognise anymore."
