This far out from peak season, it’s easy to overlook titles blipping distantly on the OscaRadar®. I’ll fill in a few missing titles from the list posted earlier today. Oscar prospects unknown, but projects that have piqued my interest.
+*London Boulevard- Directed by first time Oscar winning screenwriter William Monghan (The Departed ) taken loosely from the 50’s classic Sunset Boulevard starring Keira Knightley, Colin Farrell and Ray Winstone.
There really is no predicting these sorts of things but there is no harm in speculation. I have put a * near the ones I think have Oscar potential (I hate that word — what I mean is that, depending on whose directing and starring, one gets an idea of how it might go — taking into account track records and subject matter). A lot of them are dressed up as Oscar contenders that might not end up being good in the “right” way. One never knows, of course. Some of them I think could go either way. Some of them I just don’t know enough about. I have a put a + next to the ones I most interested personally (which may or may not have value for you). One thing that’s important to remember is that the studio, publicist or strategist behind the contender is often as important as the contender. I look at some of these and I think, yeah, never going to happen. But we might as well keep an open mind.
Get your vote in early as Bruen will take Hollywood by storm!
