It’s never too early to start handicapping next year’s film awards race.
Much of Hollywood is still shaking off the hangover from another champagne-soaked Oscar night, but even 12 months removed from the next telecast, the coming battle for statuary is already taking shape.
It’s a competition that could bring back previous winners such as Robert Zemeckis and Damien Chazelle or reward shockingly overlooked auteurs like Yorgos Lanthimos. There’s also the possibility that Martin Scorsese will be in the hunt for Oscar glory if Netflix moves up the release of “The Irishman,” a long-gestating, big-budget crime drama starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro that’s tentatively scheduled to debut in 2019.
Zemeckis has mostly been ignored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences since winning the director Oscar for “Forrest Gump” in 1995, but his next project, “The Women of Marwen,” seems tailor-made to appeal to voters. The film follows a showroom designer (Steve Carell) who constructs a miniature village as a way of coping with a brutal attack that left him temporarily in a coma. Mixing fantasy with heartache certainly worked in the case of this year’s winner “The Shape of Water”; the same formula could pay off for Zemeckis.
After becoming the youngest director winner in history for “La La Land,” Chazelle returns with “First Man,” a look at Neil Armstrong’s moon landing. The Oscars have long had a soft spot for space exploration, showering “Apollo 13” and “The Right Stuff” with multiple nominations; Universal, the studio behind the project, is high on the film, giving it a prime October release slot. Chazelle could find himself facing off against “Moonlight” director Barry Jenkins after the two went toe to toe in 2017. Jenkins is returning with “If Beale Street Could Talk,” an adaptation of the James Baldwin novel.
As for Lanthimos, the Greek filmmaker behind 2017’s “Killing of a Sacred Deer” has often seemed too outrageous and convention-bending to please more sedate Oscar voters, but the same could once have been said for Guillermo del Toro, the horror movie maestro who walked off with top honors on March 4 for “The Shape of Water.” Lanthimos’ next project, “The Favourite,” is a look at 18th-century court politics during the reign of Queen Anne. That has a “Masterpiece Theatre” sheen to it, but given Lanthimos’ avant-garde track record, it’s reasonable to expect this won’t be your standard costume drama.
Wes Anderson joins Lanthimos in the category of quirky auteurs whose time has come. It’s hard to believe, but despite a résumé that includes such modern cinema classics as “Rushmore” and “The Royal Tenenbaums,” Anderson remains Oscar-less. “Isle of Dogs,” his stop-motion comedy set in a dystopian future, scored rave reviews when it premiered at the Berlin Film Festival in February, establishing itself as a bona fide contender. Should it falter in the pursuit of a best picture nod, “Isle of Dogs” seems a shoo-in for a best animated feature nomination. Anderson’s been there before — his acclaimed animated film “Fantastic Mr. Fox” was nominated for an Oscar in 2010.
Though Berlin got awards season going by hosting Anderson’s latest, the Sundance Film Festival was plainly lacking in discernible Oscar candidates. “Hereditary,” a horror film with Toni Collette, scored rapturous notices, but its genre could be held against it. That is, unless “Get Out” is a sign that the Academy is feeling less snobbish about a style of moviemaking it considers to be in the B vein. There’s also “The Tale,” a child abuse drama with Laura Dern that electrified Sundance crowds. However, the film took itself out of the Oscar conversation when it sold to HBO. The cable channel is forgoing a theatrical release and will instead position the movie for Emmy consideration.
Sundance may have faltered in curating awards-season favorites, but several fall releases may have the goods. Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie, who squared off in the lead actress category for their respective turns in “Lady Bird” and “I, Tonya,” could be pitted against each other yet again. The two star in “Mary Queen of Scots,” a historical drama about the rivalry between Mary Stuart and Queen Elizabeth I.
Ronan’s “Lady Bird” co-star Lucas Hedges should also turn heads for his work in “Boy Erased,” a drama about a preacher’s son forced into gay conversion camp — a film that features showy roles for past winners Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman. And Adam McKay, who scored with “The Big Short,” is back with another politically provocative offering, “Backseat.” The drama tracks the rise to power of Dick Cheney, portrayed in the film by Christian Bale, who packs on the pounds to play the former vice president. There’s nothing Oscar voters respect more than a good weight gain. Just ask Robert De Niro, who was rewarded with a best actor honor for “Raging Bull” for going on his own cheeseburger diet.
There’s already a candidate to be next year’s version of “Wonder Woman” — a universally beloved tentpole film that came up empty-handed when Oscar nominations were announced. “Black Panther” was a hit with critics and audiences and has become one of the highest-grossing films in history, but that may not be enough to get its creators a seat near the front on Oscar night. In recent years, Academy voters have tended to bypass blockbusters for smaller, indie fare.
“‘Black Panther’ has made so much money it’s already the favorite to not get nominated,” host Jimmy Kimmel quipped during the recent Oscar broadcast.
“Black Panther” may have to forgo Oscar glory in favor of gold coin.

Timothy Chalamette mungkin leh dpt double nominations thn ni
samada sbg lead dlm filem A Rainy Day in New York arahan Woody Allen
ataupun supporting actor dlm filem Beautiful Boys .
Rainy Day In New York tu sbb Woody Allen pndi create watak yg fully developed tp mengenangkan woody allen asyik kena serang dek bekas bini dia, mgkn peluang tu agak 50-50.
manakala Beautiful Boys plak dia bawa wtk drug addict - agak oscar bait jugak ni.
aku harap FIlem A Rainy day in New York tu dapatlah di release kan....
kenapa nak hukum filem ni...kalau pengarah bermasalah..filem ni x salah kan untuk di tayangkan..
so far pelakon2 di bawah arahan Woody Allen banyak yang menang oscar...Diane Keaton, Diane Weist, Michael Caine , Penelope Cruz...malah dah banyak filem filem arahan Woody Allen menang oscar terutama kategori best Original Screenplay..dan banyak tercalon oscar.,
walau dah kertu tapi idea dia masih bernas dan mengikut peredaran zaman semasa...
and Yes..Beautiful Boy mmg oscar baity Role,,,watak drug addic..dan dengarnya dia pun turunkan berat badan untuk menghayati watak drug addic..
Oscar kan suka watak yang begini...kalau Gary gemukkan badan (dengan bantuan makeup) dan boleh menang Oscar...so why not Timothee chalamet pun ada lah peluang untuk meraih oscar....dengarnya amazon studio nak kempen untuk supporting role untuk timothee chalamet

‘BlacKkKlansman’ reviews: Will Honorary Oscar champ Spike Lee win competitive prizes for his fact-based film?
Could Spike Lee win his first competitive Oscar for “BlacKkKlansman”? Though he has been making films for more than 30 years and received an Honorary Oscar for his body of work in 2016, he has yet to win a competitive award from the motion picture academy. Perhaps surprisingly, he has never even been nominated for Best Director. His only two bids were Best Original Screenplay for “Do the Right Thing” (1989) and Best Documentary Feature for “4 Little Girls” (1997).
His latest film tells the improbable true story of Ron Stallworth (played by John David Washington), a black police officer who managed to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan in the 1970s. It’s earning the director his best reviews in years, scoring 83 on MetaCritic based on 48 reviews. And it has a 98% freshness score on Rotten Tomatoes based on 136 reviews (only 3 are classified as negative). The RT consensus says the film “uses history to offer bitingly trenchant commentary on current events — and brings out some of Spike Lee’s hardest-hitting work in decades along the way.”
It’s being described as “thematically dense and narratively twisty,” with “vital” messages about how history seems to be repeating itself in the Donald Trump era of racial division. Lee “is firing on all cylinders,” telling a “nuanced story” with “a sense of humor and incisiveness” that is “laced through with the underlying horror of racism.”
Odie Henderson (RogerEbert.com): “This is not only one of the year’s best films but one of Lee’s best as well. Juggling the somber and the hilarious, the sacred and the profane, the tragedy and the triumph, the director is firing on all cylinders here. ‘BlacKkKlansman’ is a true conversation starter, and probably a conversation ender as well.”
Inkoo Kang (Slate): “The film is thematically dense and narratively twisty … In contrast to recent period pieces like ‘American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson’ and ‘The Post’ that reexamined the past through a modern lens, ‘BlacKkKlansman’ uses history to illustrate how we’re repeating it … The filmmaker’s studious parallels make ‘BlacKkKlansman’s’ messages vital. Ron’s pranks make them bearable.”
SEE‘Black Panther’ finally crosses $700 million at the box office after 6 monthsAndre Hereford (Film Journal International): “‘BlacKkKlansmanitself’ playfully deconstructs this country’s race problem from multiple angles, with a sense of humor and incisiveness clearly influenced by Lee’s collaborators, including producer Jordan Peele and the team behind the Oscar-winning 2017 satirical horror hit ‘Get Out’ … This film, despite the fun it’s having, is laced through with the underlying horror of racism past and present.”
Emily Yoshida (Vulture): “Lee plays with allusions to Trump and our present-day American mess throughout the film … but the final minutes remove any semblance of joking. ‘BlacKkKlansman’ is a nuanced story of race in America, but Lee doesn’t take any chances with vagueness or ellipses, nor should he. As much as ‘BlacKkKlansman’ plays with the mechanics of blaxploitation fantasy, it doesn’t leave one with any question about what’s real.”
