While this year’s awards season is bit more exciting than usual, as there’s no single frontrunner for the big prize, this time of year still tends to center around a small handful of films. Oscar talk continues to swirl around pictures like Christopher Nolan‘s “Dunkirk” and Steven Spielberg‘s “The Post,” but it’s worth remembering that technically speaking, everyone in Hollywood starts on a level playing field in the hunt for that elusive gold trophy.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has released a ridiculously long list of the films eligible for Best Picture at the Oscars. So, fanboys can still dream about “Justice League” jumping into the race, while we can all consider what kind of world we’ll be living in should Netflix‘s “Bright” get any nods. The list is also a good reminder of all the movies you forgot were released this year, plus a good handful you didn’t even know existed.
So, will “Monster Trucks” or “Brawl In Cell Block 99” come out of nowhere to threaten for major prizes? Probably not, but we can all imagine that the stuffy Oscars get a few random curveballs thrown into the mix.
The Oscars will be handed out on March 4, 2018. Full list below.
