Commentary - Welcome to the 2019-2020 Oscar season! It has been a month since the last Oscars, and it is time for us to start thinking ahead to the next season that will gear up before we know it. This stage of the game can be tricky. Release dates change, surprise contenders splash at film festivals. But it is also nice to take a look at the journey ahead, knowing that the narrative can always take unexpected turns. For example, Green Book wasn't on anybody's radar at this point last year, until the studio decided to make it an Oscar contender and premiere it at Toronto. So let's start with the screenplay categories. Probably at the top of most people's list is Martin Scorsese's The Irishman. Netflix got a jump on the season when it announced it during this year's Oscar ceremony. They know they have a mammoth contender on their hands, and they will give it all they got. Steve Zaillian is a four time nominee, and won for Schindler's List. Two recent screenplay nominees Dee Rees and Greta Gerwig hope to build on their success with Mudbound and Lady Bird. Both projects have a lot of potential. Animated films often do well in these categories, and Pixar in particular often finds support among the writing branch. Toy Story 4 has the potential to be the next Inside Out or Toy Story 3. If that is the case, it's in. Finally, I know firsthand the madness that Downton Abbey inspired, as my library and its patrons were Downton obsessed for years. I also saw it continually rack up loads of Emmy nominations year after year. If the film inspires the same level of love and respect, expect it to soar with Oscar voters. Beyond those five there are lots of contenders to keep in mind. Benh Zeitlin returns seven years after his surprise Oscar hit Beasts of the Southern Wild. Tracy Letts is adapting the hit novel The Woman in the Window, and hopes to avoid the fate as Gillian Flynn did with Gone Girl. Where'd You Go Bernadette? got pushed back to late summer, meaning that the studio might have both a moneymaker, and a potential Oscar contenders on its hands. The Goldfinch won the Pulitzer, and Peter Straughn is a previous nominee for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Musicals don't historically do well in screenplay categories, but Tom Hooper doing Cats could change some minds. Armando Iannucci returns with The Personal History of David Copperfield, and I like the looks of Luce, The Art of Racing in the Rain, Call of the Wild, Ford v. Ferrari, and the new Edward Norton, Taikia Wahiti, Todd Haynes films. Then there are the big guns. The Disney, Marvel, DC, blockbusters that are all hoping to crash the party the way Black Panther did this year (although it did miss out on a screenplay nomination). These include: Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Dark Phoenix, Star Wars Episode Nine, Dumbo, The Lion King, Joker, It: Chapter Two, Artemis Fowl, Shazam!, Captain Marvel, Frozen II, and Aladdin. We have many months to figure out just how this story will unfold. Stay tuned.

Toy Story 4 Trailer

The last animated film nominated for Best Picture was Toy Story 3. The reason that Pixar does so well at the Oscars is because they continue to find deep emotional resonance. Feeling emboldened by the success of Black Panther, I could see Disney working overtime to get Oscar glory once again:

Avengers: Endgame Trailer #2

I honestly think that Black Panther was a fluke for Marvel in terms of the Oscars, and that, in general, their superhero genre films will not always make the Best Picture cut. I will say that Endgame is going for the emotional resonance angle. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

SXSW 2019: Jordan Peele's Us Premieres to Rave Reviews

Jordan Peele's Us kicked off this year's SXSW festival, in the same manner a A Quiet Place last year. Will Us get the same level of response as A Quiet Place or Peele's last horror film Get Out? So far, the response has been fantastic. It is being called terrifying, hilarious, culturally relevant. So far, its Metacritic score is almost on par with Get Out. In particular, I am hearing a lot about Lupita Nyong'o's performance, which is said to be top-notch. I am not normally a horror fan, but I am looking forward to seeing this later this month. Check out the trailer below if you haven't seen it yet:
