Movies That Could Be in Next Year’s Oscar Race

The awards race is over, and if you’re a regular Oscar Beat reader you know I’ve been covering this thing closely for the past six months. Which means the last thing I want to do is think about next year’s Oscars, but there’s no time like the present, and while the awards ceremony is on everyone’s minds we might as well get it over with, no?

Here is  some Movies that could be in the oscar race next year :

Ad Astra

James Gray has come close to Oscar attention before with his last two films, The Immigrant and The Lost City of Z, but Ad Astra seems like his most likely contender yet. The original sci-fi drama is anchored by Brad Pitt as a man who searches the galaxy for his father, who disappeared on a mission to find alien life 20 years prior.

Black Panther

Black Panther has thus far surpassed every expectation put on it, and in the wake of euphoric reviews and a box office that just won’t stop, it doesn’t seem entirely out of the realm of possibility for this to become Marvel Studios’ first serious Oscar contender.

First Man

Whiplash and La La Land filmmaker Damien Chazelle is back in the Oscar fold this year, and while he scored a Best Director win for La La Land, it doesn’t sound like First Man will be any less ambitious.
