While the Oscar nominations have yet to be disclosed, it’s safe to assume that much of the above films will also land as contenders on the big screen. You’re going to see Chazelle and Lonergan’s films get more recognition. Best Actress is still up for contention but there’s been a lot of push for Emma Stone ever since she won at the 2016 Venice Film Festival. However, look out for Ruth Negga (Loving), too. Casey Affleck, as mentioned above, will get further nods. But, Andrew Garfield (Hacksaw Ridge) may be a surprise this year.
The Jungle Book should win the Oscar for the best visual effects, and the film stars Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson (flashback to Lost in Translation) so there’s also that to be giddy about.
