arrivederci the week before that. So, at this point, critics and pundits have viewed just about every Oscar hopeful.There are just two holdovers that could crash the Hollywood hootenanny: “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” out Nov.
11, and “Avatar: The Way of Water,” out Dec. 16 — two big-budget sequels to massively popular films that previously got Best Picture nods.Other than Pandora and Wakanda, however, the field is pretty much set.The flick to beat is now Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical “The Fabelmans,” which won the all-important people’s choice award at TIFF on Sunday.
Recent Best Picture winners “Nomadland” and “Green Book” also left with that big prize in the past, and it nearly always means at least a Best Picture nomination. “The Fabelmans” is exceptional, moving, funny, nostalgic and, unlike most awardsy movies these days, mainstream audiences will actually like it.
Spielberg could even go home with his first Best Director Oscar since 1999’s “Saving Private Ryan.” Still, with so much early buzz, there’s a chance that voters could grow tired of Steve by March.His nearest competition is Martin McDonagh’s (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”) hilarious “The Banshees of Inisherin,” starring Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell, who is doing some of his finest work. He’s sure to get a Best Actor slot; the film will be nominated for Best Picture, writing and directing for the uber-skilled McDonagh.
