Perhaps they're trying to repeat its success by getting rave reviews early on and managing to pick up a couple of Oscar nods by the time awards season comes around.

I think Dunkirk could be the big blockbuster nominee this year like Life of Pi/Avatar etc. I'd love Carrie Fisher and/or Mark Hammill to sneak noms too but it seems as though it could be a really strong year. I also reckon Breathe could perhaps be this year's The Theory of Everything. Claire Foy is hot off The Crown and Andrew Garfield from Hacksaw Ridge so I think they could be contenders come awards season! Will add it to the opening post.

I was talking to my Dad the other day about who we would pick as winners in each year and Jonah Hill was his favourite choice in both years as he was nominated. I was like good job you don't run the Oscars :') Imagine two-time Academy Award Winner 'Jonah Hill!

Really hope this can become a big Awards contender, it sounds like it could be rly great like Saving Mr Banks was & Margot/Domnhall are fabulous and both deserve to get some big awards attention! <3 Three Billboards has also been scheduled for 13th October!

I have a really good feeling about The Greatest Showman though atm!

EDIT: Also added a few more potential contenders including Lean On Pete (potentially Steve Buscemi could be nominated and other major nominations), A Fantastic Woman (potentially Daniela Vega could be nominated) & Novitiate (potentially Melissa Leo could be nominated).

Same release week as Moonlight and Birdman had in previous years! Please tell me this is going to be massive. Todd Haynes needs a director win after the Carol snubs in Director & Picture plus I really want Julianne Moore to get that sixth nomination to add to her legacy - This is one of my most hyped movies for awards season, really want to read the book too!

Not the most awards friendly release date ever so I'll probably remove it from my predictions now but tbh, it is the same release date as Hell or High Water from last year so you never know!

I think it could be a bit of an upset come awards season and I might start putting James Franco in my predictions. It's certainly a transformative role!
