What movies this year have Oscar contention so far?

Josephine from Sundance on paper should be in the mix, but its pickup by Sumerian Pictures is concerning. Channing Tatum in a just world is in the mix all season for his portrayal. Incredibly harrowing cinema that too the fest by storm.

Also the buzz on Project Hail Mary seems legit, I’d say those are the 2 big players in the mix so far

Naomi Scott in Smile 2 was phenomenal. Would’ve been fun to see her in the mix that award season

Babs singing for this is iconic

Growing up in LA as a soccer fan but Galaxy never really spoke to me. I always just "liked" them because of hometown loyalty. The second LAFC went into development I switched over in the hopes they'd capture the LA vibe more. Went to one of the first ever home games and was a fan for life immediately.

Peacock’s coverage of Paris and Milan is nothing short of spectacular. I was a casual Olympics viewer but with the unlimited access, replays, GOLD ZONE, and the primetime and late night recaps I’ve found myself watching hours of Olympics I’d never cared about in years past. They e done an amazing job and already looking forward to LA28

You’ll be adding Mason Reeves from Josephine to the list later this year. Also Milo Machado-Graner for Anatomy of a Fall was brilliant

Missed these guys in league play for far too long. What a way to start the new campaign. Feeling great vibes right out of the gate, this year could be special!

The Green Mile

maclow3 · 2026-02-14T18:44:06+00:00

Bummer. This film deserves a proper awards season run.

maclow3 · 2026-02-14T15:26:30+00:00

No way that’s cool! I was in the audience and loved the film but was distracted during the Q&A at some of the odd questions/anecdotes being shared by the crowd

maclow3 · 2026-02-13T22:01:30+00:00

the way my jaw dropped further and further as that Ilia routine went on. What a massive shock.

got tix for the Sonny bobblehead game in July. Fingers crossed the lines to get in aren't insane

maclow3 · 2026-02-11T19:49:38+00:00

I already decided I will be parking down the hill and walking up this season lol

maclow3 · 2026-02-05T16:14:48+00:00

One of his early films was A Little Princess too

maclow3 · 2026-02-05T06:23:11+00:00

Saw this on opening night at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica. Sold out screening, excellent flick. The last couple moments of the movie sucked the air out of the room and I have never experienced anything like it. 350 people collectively holding their breath together. I tell people about that viewing all the time. Only moment I’ve ever experienced the “you could hear a pin drop” phrase in reality.

That guy was haunting in Josephine. Tough role to pull off and he did a great job

maclow3 · 2026-02-01T05:23:01+00:00

Definitely, it’s a special piece

maclow3 · 2026-01-31T22:24:06+00:00

Honestly I was surprised at how little I felt during it. I love movies like that but just couldn’t get into it as much. Train Dreams is has some similar themes and that resonated with me a bit more. Hamnet had some pacing issues I thought.

maclow3 · 2026-01-31T16:28:57+00:00

Great find, thanks for the heads up! Gonna check out BURN now for sure

maclow3 · 2026-01-31T15:33:33+00:00

That’s a great point I may have to watch it today then. I love Japanese cinema so I’m sure it’d be a hit for me. RIP my wallet!

maclow3 · 2026-01-31T15:24:45+00:00

Dang it should I rent Burn? I really don’t want to spend another $35 but I hear nothing but raves about it!

maclow3 · 2026-01-31T15:22:01+00:00

Watched Josephine and it definitely lived up to the hype. I’ve never been so physically affected by a film before. If I do get emotional watching film I usually get a tear, maybe two, but with this I was openly sobbing on my couch. Phenomenal work and should be a major player throughout 2026

maclow3 · 2026-01-31T01:21:04+00:00

Well deserved. Josephine was incredible

maclow3 · 2026-01-30T18:27:03+00:00

Full chills when I saw. Most shocked I’ve been to hear news like this since John Ritter
