It has been happening for a few years, yet it already seems to be a consolidated practice to expect Oscar-nominated films no longer only in the cinema but also on the most important entertainment streaming platforms . Either because the market and the way of using the contents, for various reasons, have profoundly changed, or because more and more often it is Netflix or Amazon that produce some of the aforementioned feature films. In fact, if before we tried to recover as many titles as possible between one theater and another, now getting prepared for the night of the awards has become a test, let's say, more within everyone's reach and not just the most hardened cinephiles.
So here's a quick guide to skilfully sailing among the event's potential winners.
Invariably starting from the dear old room we still find Steven Spielberg's "The Fabelmans" available (best film, best director, best leading actress, best supporting actor, best original screenplay, best art direction, best original soundtrack) and "Avatar: the way Water” by James Cameron (Best Picture, Best Production Design, Best Special Effects, Best Sound). For both titles, the projections will certainly continue until March 12 and probably thereafter. We also find "Puss in Boots 2: the last wish" (best animated film) and "Babylon" , very recently released (best art direction, best costumes, best original soundtrack).
On February 2, Martin McDonagh's "The Spirits of the Island" awaits us, which enjoys no less than eight nominations (best film, best director, best leading actor, best supporting actor, best supporting actress, best original screenplay, best editing, best original soundtrack). On the same day, what is already shaping up to be the revelation film of the Awards will also be released: “Everything Everywhere All At Once” , which is also a potential winner of statuettes (best film, best director, best actress, best supporting actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Original Score, Best Original Song).
