One of the top contenders for Best Documentary at the Oscars this year ranges from the skies above Delhi, India to a basement below the city’s north end.
Nice Guys (and Gals) Finish First? How Likability and Popularity Helps Oscar Contenders

Clayton Davis Reputations go a long way in Hollywood, and when you’re seeking Oscar attention, a good one provides a significant edge against the competition. While more than a few contenders in this year’s mix have had previous run-ins with colleagues and journalists, those without that baggage have social media, and the industry, rooting for them. At the top of the list is Brendan Fraser, one of the best comeback stories in years. In Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale” (Aronofsky and Fraser are both on the cover of this week’s New York issue of Variety) where he plays a 600-pound man looking to reconnect with his daughter, he delivers an astounding performance. The adaptation of Samuel D. Hunter’s play may face an uphill battle in other major categories, based on reactions so far. However, the star of “The Mummy” (1999) and “Encino Man” (1992) has been able to rise above any criticism, especially after Variety posted a viral video of him getting emotional during the film’s standing ovation at Venice.
Tom Hanks, “America’s Dad” for decades, has received six Oscar nominations and scored back-to-back wins for “Philadelphia” (1993) and “Forrest Gump” (1994). Although his interpretation of Col. Tom Parker, the music-manager weasel with a weird accent in Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis,” received a mixed reception from critics, there’s nothing the Academy likes to do more than to prove the public wrong, especially when one of its darlings is involved. With a huge box office for “Elvis” and a starring role in “A Man Called Otto,” the English-language remake of the Oscar-nominated Swedish film “A Man Called Ove” (2015), he could be part of the race in either the lead or the supporting category. With grace, respect and charming humor,

Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan Split Oscar Campaigns for ‘She Said’
Clayton Davis Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan are splitting up, at least in terms of their Oscar campaign. “She Said,” which premiered at the New York Film Festival, and then one day later at the Middleburg Film Festival in Virginia, will be campaigned by Universal Pictures in the highly competitive best actress category for Kazan while Mulligan will seek attention in the wide-open supporting actress race. Directed by Maria Schrader, “She Said” tells the story of New York Times reporters Megan Twohey (Mulligan) and Jodi Kantor (Kazan), who helped launched the #MeToo movement by exposing the silence surrounding sexual assault in Hollywood, and particularly Harvey Weinstein.
