every day so be sure to subscribe to our
channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos for
this list we’re taking a look at 2018
movies that have received critical
admiration and/or awards buzz suggesting
there’ll be significant contenders at
the Oscars number 10 widows you have no
idea do you what did you choose not to
know oceans 8 isn’t this year’s only
female driven heist movie of course
where that film was pure popcorn
escapism this thriller could pull off a
bigger score come award season Academy
Award winner Viola Davis leads an
all-star ensemble as the recently
widowed Veronica teaming up with three
other widows who lost their husbands
during a heist gone wrong
Veronica sets out to finish the job my
husband left me the plans for his next
job director Steve McQueen previously
brought us the Best Picture winning 12
years of slave and co-wrote the
screenplay with Gillian Flynn of gone
girl Fame with a lineup like this it’s
not surprising that Widow’s was met with
an overwhelmingly positive reception
following its premiere at the Toronto
International Film Festival now the best
thing we have going for is is being who
why because no one thinks we have the
balls to pull this off number nine
hereditary my mother was a very
secretive and private woman she had
private rituals private friends private
anxieties being a horror movie
hereditary might seem like an
unconventional Oscar nominee of course
last year’s get out fell under the
horror umbrella and it received a Best
Picture nomination not to mention a win
for Best Original Screenplay going back
even further the Academy recognized the
Exorcist and Rosemary’s Baby both of
which share a great deal in common with
this modern classic um excuse me you
while hereditary me proved a bit too
disturbing for some Oscar voters we’d be
shocked if it didn’t at least get
nominations for its sets musical score
and sound design Toni Collette is also a
strong contender for Best Actress which
would mark her first Oscar nomination
since the Sixth Sense don’t you ever
raise your voice at me I am your mother
number eight eighth grade so the topic
of today’s video is being yourself the
Academy has a soft spot for independent
coming-of-age comedies with a 98 %
approval score on Rotten Tomatoes the
Sundance favorite seems poised to follow
in the footsteps of Best Picture
nominees like Juno and Lady Bird writer
director Bo Burnham who began his career
as a youtuber over ten years ago should
nab a nomination for his funny timely
and painfully on a screenplay by the way
I like your shirt a lot like so cool
well it could be a long shot considering
her age and the stiff competition we
wouldn’t be surprised if star Elsie
Fisher became one of the youngest best
actress nominees in Oscar history Plus
studio 8:24 is now a major award season
player and 8th grade is likely their
best foot forward you never know what’s
next
and that’s what makes things exciting
scary
and fun number seven if Beale Street
could talk you ready for this speaking
of a24 the studio officially hit the big
time in 2017 when Barry Jenkins
moonlight won Best Picture
Jenkins follow-up film if Beale Street
could talk is being distributed by
Annapurna pictures and produced by Plan
B entertainment both of which are
synonymous with Oscar gold the story
centers on a pregnant woman whose
husband is convicted of a crime he
didn’t commit
mom I got my baby a mouse this
adaptation of James Baldwin’s
provocative and still relevant novel was
a standout at TIFF where it became the
first runner-up for the People’s Choice
Award critics have also praised the cast
across the board with three-time Emmy
winner Regina King being singled out as
a favorite for Best Supporting Actress
you’ve just hit love his father
just it all the way number six black
Klansmen oh this is Ron Stallworth
called
Who am I speaking with this is David
Duke Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan
that David dude God last time I checked
what can I do for him although he
received an Academy honorary award in
2015
Spike Lee has shockingly never won a
competitive Oscar
so the entertainment industry really is
out to get Spike Lee that may finally
change in 2019 as the overdue filmmaker
directed co-wrote and co-produced this
thought-provoking dramedy Denzel
Washington’s son John David gives a
breakthrough performance as Ron
Stallworth an african-american detective
who infiltrates the KKK I’m talking
about true white America god bless white
America well the premise might sound
far-fetched black clansmen is actually
based on Saul Worth’s memoir the film’s
skillful direction brilliant dialogue
and social relevance helped it to win
the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film
Festival with a few Oscar nominations
seemingly on the horizon for you it’s a
crusade for me it’s a job number five
the favorite dearest Queen you are mad
giving me a palace the Academy can
rarely resist a British period piece but
that’s far from the only thing the
favorite has going for it
director yo ghost lanthum oz who
previously scored an Oscar nomination
for the lobster brings us this
biographical drama about two cousins
determined to outshine one another as
Queen Anne’s favorite if you didn’t gain
the film unites a trio of acclaimed
actresses with Best Actress winner Emma
Stone as Abigail Masham Best Supporting
Actress winner Rachel Vice as Sarah
Churchill and Golden Globe winner Olivia
Colman as an queen of Great Britain the
enthusiastic reviews out of the Venice
Film Festival bode well for all three
actresses and the film itself appears to
be an Oscar favorite she’s madness
sometimes a lady likes to have some fun
set in the early 1970s this beautifully
shot drama from Academy Award winner
Alfonso Cuaron follows a family in
Mexico City over the course of one year
Mexico selected Roma as their entry for
Oscars Best Foreign Language Film
category which makes sense since it
already won the Golden Lion at Venice
will this translate into a Best Picture
victory just like it did for the shape
of water
well Roma will have an uphill battle
since a foreign language film has never
won the Academy’s top prize and some
voters have an outspoken bias against
distributor Netflix if the Academy is
ready to embrace change
however Roma could break new grounds on
Oscar Sunday number 3 Green Book
some guy called over here but doctor
he’s looking for a driver you interested
in 2016
Adam McKay went from directing Will
Ferrell comedies to winning an Oscar for
the Big Short Peter Farrelly who
directed Dumb and Dumber and there’s
something about Mary might follow a
similar path with his latest film Green
Book you and a deep south literally
problems Oscar nominee Viggo Mortensen
plays a nightclub bouncer who becomes
the driver for a black pianist in the
1960s played by Oscar winner Maher
Sheila Ali it’s kind of like Driving
Miss Daisy but with the races reversed
on a tour throughout the Deep South the
two men form an unlikely friendship in a
profound story based on real-life
experiences taking home the People’s
Choice Award at TIFF Green Book hits all
the right notes what do we do about the
pick it up Tony squirrels would eat it
anyway pick it up number two first men
are you sure yeah be an adventure
first man has all the makings of a
certified Best Picture nominee for
starters the plot revolves around the
Apollo 11 moon landing one of the most
significant events in human history the
oscar-winning talent involved includes
screenwriter Josh singer of spotlight
and director Damien Chazelle of la-la
land this film sees chisel reteam with
star Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong and
Academy award-winning composer Justin
Hurwitz knew if his flight is successful
you’ll go down in history what kind of
thoughts do you have about that we’re
planning on the flight being successful
Claire Foy who’s fresh off a Primetime
Emmy win for her work on the crown has
also been pegged as a Best Supporting
Actress front-runner for her performance
as Armstrong’s wife Janet Sharon there’s
little doubt first man could go through
the stratosphere do you think her coming
back before we get to our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions I don’t
want to what you going through right now
is just a moment yes I know your heart
has more within it than the men who
can’t feel you you would do well to
watch or work I will not be scolded by
my inferior courage is the solution to
despair reason provides no answers
number one a star is born maybe it’s
time Olivia
[Music]
Judy Garland notoriously lost the Oscar
for her legendary performance in the
1954 remake of a star is born if the
reviews out of Venice are any indication
Lady Gaga may pull off a feat that not
even garland could I don’t sing my own
songs why I just don’t feel comfortable
in addition to starring in this modern
update of the timeless classic Gaga also
helped it craft the celebrated
soundtrack while Gaga has soaked up much
of the buzz Bradley Cooper is in a
position to receive even more Oscar
nominations as the film’s co-lead
director co-writer and co-producer not
to mention a contributor on several
songs the road to Oscar glory can be
unpredictable but the stars are already
aligning for this film
