When we got to the last day of June, it is time to assess the place where the race stands for the ninth and eighteenth Oscars. 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 Kogler Warner Bruce Sin, Michael B. Jordan was released on April 18, mixing gangs with blood helicopters around 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 that already wins the Academy Awards from the first six months, for both sound and visual effects. In fact, only two other films an exam from January to June last year, they received one nomination: May 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, That used the SXSW Festival as the owner of players and went to win seven Academy Awards, including the best image, actress, supporter, director and original scenario after one year. In the previous year, Sundance Sensation Coda He had a very limited theatrical race and began to flow in August 2021 before he was the best winner of the picture. 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, it will go to glory with the best photo nominations and the last seven Academy Awards. 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 of the A24 at the end of last week for Eva Victor's Rapturous Sorry, darling That played Sundance, where she won the Waldo Salt Scrinbriting Award and Cannes. moonlight Oscar winner Barry Jenkins is a producer. Certainly at least a original scenario nomination for Victor can also be determined in the best actress race. On that other front very A small film, such as Victor's for the first time in the director of the director for Sarah Friedland, was opened at the end of last week in a limited ARTHOUSE. Familiar toUCH, you can be known in the leading actress of Broadway Cathlein Celavanet, the amazing and destructive as a woman sliding into the dementia and sent to live in her days at a home to care for the elderly. The music box version may undoubted Sees He – is. Although the academy seemed to make it difficult to do, this type of popular load that she holds is similarly Small film, To Leslie … In 2023, this would descend Andrea Ripuro, the first actress's best nomination is the recipe for this recipe as well. I hear that they have money allocated to a campaign, so this small jewel and the high professional achievement of Charal (won the best actress among the three film awards in the Venice Horizons Competition last fall) may be one of 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 transfer them away in 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 set of wonderful human and human films that should not be forgotten (but unfortunately it may not be what they did not get a unilateral campaign behind it) including the winner of choosing prestigious people last year (the audience prize 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 reception on Bleecker Street from Telluride, Friend 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 return it in playing, at least for its original scenario, although it does not seem to be the same type of Past life Tanna Awards, although I think it deserves, and so is it 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 may be said about the first big blow to Apple (released by Warner Bros), the audience's friendly 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 would like to bet on the farm although it will be a major competition for nominations and a potential victory for and editing the Academy Academy Awards, just like the previous car racing Grand Prix race She won.

This is about it. Of course, I have reviewed and written widely about the films that were seen at the Cannes and Sundance Festival and you can bet on each other in the race for sure once 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, although it belongs directly to Sin. Take it to the bank.
