Meet This Year's Oscar Best Picture Contenders
Though the next batch of Academy Award nominees won't be unveiled until January 22, 2019, there's already plenty of Oscar buzz for films that have reached theaters in the past few months as well as a few more due to open in the coming weeks.
While the top two or three favorites have been well established since the major fall festivals (TIFF, Venice) ended in September, the remainder of the best picture field appears to be up for grabs. Which are this year's likeliest contenders for the top Oscar? In the gallery above, check out all of this year's top prospects (in alphabetical order).
Now in theaters (released Oct. 5). This, as you likely already know, is your best picture favorite this year. The third remake of the 81-year-old film tragedy about stardom and addiction stars Bradley Cooper (also the film's director and co-writer) and Lady Gaga, and it immediately staked out its position as the film to beat in the best picture race when it captivated audiences (and reviewers) on the fall festival circuit. The film is also a huge box office hit, grossing close to $300 million in its first month. The only question is whether the film will be so dominant in the early part of the awards season that a backlash will set in by the time the Oscars roll around.
