Is it time to say goodbye to 'The Farewell' in the Best Picture race? |
Depending on who you ask, there is much cause for concern regarding A24's 2019 lineup. Though their slate includes several acclaimed films, they seem to have been beaten at their own game - edgy but accessible fare - by upstarts Neon, who are flying high on the success of "Parasite" among others. In contrast, A24's prized pony is less clear. Is it "Waves," which has crashed and burned since its buzzy Telluride launch? Is it the challenging but rewarding "Uncut Gems" from the inimitable Safdie Brothers? Or is it Sundance darling "The Farewell," with its strong awards potential in the acting and screenplay categories?
In my estimation, there are 7 films looking like safe bets in Best Picture, which leaves room for A24 to stage a comeback. Here's how I see current state of the Best Picture race:
- The Irishman
- Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
- Jojo Rabbit ⬆
- Parasite
- Marriage Story
- 1917 ⬇
- Joker ⬆
- The Farewell ⬆
- Dolemite is My Name ⬆
- Uncut Gems ⬆
