At this Sunday’s Academy Awards, “12 Years a Slave” and “Gravity” are expected to win in the Best Picture and Best Director categories. Matthew McConaughey, Cate Blanchett and Jared Leto are all front runners in their acting categories.

But Boston Globe film critic Ty Burr says there are many other nominated films and performances that might not win, but are still worth checking out if you haven’t already.

He introduces Here & Now’s Meghna Chakrabarti to some of his favorites.
