I know it feels like we just crowned Anora as Best Picture at the Academy Awards, but we’ve nearly reached the midway point of 2025. Most of the Oscar players are still to be released, and even some have yet to be revealed at all, so we’re hardly in the thick of it. Still, as […] More

Last week, the 78th Cannes Film Festival came to a close. With it, a point in the season has been passed.

Awards Season / Oscar Predictions Update: Could Jason Reitman’s ‘Saturday Night’ or James Mangold’s ‘A Complete Unknown’ Be a Surprise Major Contender?
Sometimes, it’s nice to be right. Ever since I debuted Year in Advance predictions for the Academy Awards months ago, I’ve included Jason Reitman‘s SNL 1975 in the Best Picture lineup.
