Is ‘Sinners’ The Only Surefire Contenders for Best Picture?

With our arrival on the last day of June, it is time to evaluate the previously 98 -year -old place Academy Awards Stand. I know they do not happen until March 15, but it is not too early to start talking.

It is very simple. After six months of the year, exactly in the middle of the road, only one movie was released between New Year’s Day and now 100 %, certain, a completely guaranteed opportunity to nominate Osar the best image. I am only talking about movies in reality Absolute, Not those who played festivals like Sandans and Bans and are still waiting for the release in the second half.

Do you want to see which one is? Here is the trailer:

Ryan KoglerWarner Bruce period movie Singerand championship Michael B. Jordan He was released on April 18, mixing gangs and vampires for two twin brothers returning from gang wars in Chicago to their small southern hometown in search of a new life. It is greatly desirable by the critics (97 % fresh on rotten tomatoes of 375 reviews) and the masses (on the RT popcorn meter in positive 96 %). A total of 278 million US dollars/Canada and $ 364 million worldwide so far, the scarcity of the original movie shoots all cylinders.

With great craftsmanship and great acting, Singer It is possible to raise nominations of two numbers-at least at this stage, as she has the field for herself-including in that picture, the actor of Jordan, the potential supporter of Delroy Lindo and/or Miles Caton, the supporter of Hailee Steinfeld and/or The Fabulous Wunmi Mosaku, original screen director, fashion design, editorial, editing, editing, Sound, makeup/hair and visual effects.

It is not customary to have such a scarcity in some competitors on the best pictures in the middle of the road. Last year, for example, the issuance of March 1 Sandin dunes: Part Two (Also from Warner Bros.) You will get the best image and four other nominations from the first half in 2024. It also turned out to be the only movie In fact, winning the Academy Awards One of the first six months, for both sound and visual effects. In fact, only two other films an exam from January to June last year until they got one nominationMay The Kingdom of the Planet of the Monkey For visual effects and June Inside 2 For animation feature. No movie was not a complement to any nomination for this period, only the Amazon MGM version was united in late April until a major campaign other than Sand dunes (But she got zero nominations for this effort). It will take it until the opening of the Cannes Festival Article On September 20, before the ten candidates eventually arrived at theaters.

Therefore, it is rare to open outside the autumn/acceptable holidays and a great registration with the academy, but that was changing recently when you think about the success of the 2022 version in the march Everything everywhere once, Which used the SXSW Festival as a launch launch Winning seven Academy Awards Including the best image, actress, actress, supporter, director, and original scenario after one year. In the previous year, Sundance Sensation Coda He had a very limited theatrical race and started broadcasting in August 2021 before it was Best photo winner. And 2023 was really a deviation not only Seline Song Past life In June, he later received the best film filtering, but two famous versions on July 21, Barbie and Obenheimer Aka Barbenheimer, will continue to glory with Best photo nominations And the last Seven Academy Awards won. So you don’t always have to relax until autumn, but most distributors who have Oscar Bate do anyway.

Regarding other versions in the first half 2025 that we have seen in theaters so far, I would like to say that the best snapshot to get to know Oscar may be the opening A24 at the end of last week for Eva Victor’s Brash browned it Sorry, darling, That played both Sandans – where Waldo Salt SCR won Festival Festival. moonlight Oscar winner Barry Jenkins is a producer. Certainly, at least, nomination of an original scenario for Victor, which can also be determined in the best actress race.

And on that front, another very A small movie, like Victor for the first time in the director’s chair for Sarah Friedland, too It opened last weekend in a limited release. A familiar touch In the leading actress of Broadway Cathleine Chellav Vant, it can be known as a woman sliding into dementia and sending her to live in her days at a home to care for the elderly. The music box version on its way can work to the best race for actress Oscar if the members of the actors ’branch are actually Sees He – is. Although the academy seemed to make it difficult to do, this type of popular base that she holds similarly Small Film, 2023 To Leslie … – That would drop Andrea Ripuro first The best actress nomination – The recipe for this will also be one. I hear that they have money allocated to a campaign, so this small jewel and the high professional achievement of Challefant (won the best actress between the film Three prizes In the Venice Horizons Competition last fall), it may be one to see it from the first half in 2025.

We hope that there will be room for a number of other films that you really loved in the past six months, even if you don’t make this kind of spraying needed to move them away to the next Oscar. Among them is the smart and developed spy marriage drama in Stephen Soderberg Black bag With Michael Fassbandar and Kate Blanchett. The release of focus features is the best director for years. There is also a quadruple group of wonderful human and human films that should not be forgotten (but it is likely to be unless you have obtained a unilateral campaign behind it) including the winner of the prestigious last year Winner of choosing the people of Toronto Audience Award that always predicts Oscar nomination in the end – Chuck’s life From neon Penguin lessons With Steve Cogan of Sony Classics; We must see Walis Island Song Also from focus; And the wonderful receipt on Buckker Street from Teloride Friendand With great offers from Naomi WhatsApp and Beng, her great A big burial star.

Hit the A24 Celine Song A24 Hit Romcomdram, Materialism You can put it in playing, at least for its original scenario, although it does not seem to have the same kind Past life Tanna Awards, although I think it deserves. Likewise, in Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans. However, the A24 has a lot on its plate, so it may be a large mountain to climb to keep it in front of the mind until after the summer. The same thing can be said The first big movie from Apple Hit (issued by Warner Bros), the friend of the public F1 With Brad Pitt. It does not seem to be the best fodder, but its great success this week can change that, just as it was the same for the same team (director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Brookheimer), the best film candidate, Top pistol: Mavrick. Do not count it. I bet that the farm will be a major competitor for nominations, a possible sound and editing. Academy AwardsJust as the epic of previous cars race Ford Four Ferrari and Grand Prix race She won.

This is about it. Of course, I reviewed and written widely about the films that were seen In and SandansAnd you can definitely bet in the race as soon as they were released in the second half of the year.

In terms of what you can see in theaters or flow The first half From 2025, though, directly belongs to Sin. Take it to the bank.
